Why are so many Active Rain Members Confused about Reblogging ?
Here is a great post by Michael J. Perry and a (No-Brainer) on re-blogging other members material!
And when I first started reading this, I learned some facts I never knew and I know quite a few AR members that re-blog because of their busy schedules, etc.
One of the unique features of Active Rain is Reblogging . The ability to add all ready written
quality CONTENT to your own Blog (and therefore to your READERSHIP). When new members
are first introduced to it, they must rid themselves of all of the baggage of the past. In Active Rain,
Reblogging is not Plagiarism ! Our AR Culture views Reblogging as a complement to the author of
the post. AR Culture believes that we are assisting the original author by exposing their work to
additional/new Readership. AR Culture also believes that sometimes you discover an AR post that
you totally agree with . That you couldn't have said it any better than the author and therefore
there is no need to reinvent the wheel. You want to bring this information to your Readership by
adding this post to your own Blog.
If you are still in doubt consider the following :
1. Most AR posts have the REBLOG Tab visibly on them
2. AR rewards it's Members with 25 points for Reblogging
3. A reblog counts in YOUR blog totals
You therefore do not have to obtain the authors permission to reblog , simply use the system
that all ready is in place ! (no other rules or steps are necessary !). Finally there is a remaining step
of Active Rain Culture to perform. It is recommended in the required Introduction of a Reblog, that
the reblogger acknowledge (thank) the author for their efforts . A classy move by AR ! How about a
2016 goal of adding 1 Reblog a day to your Blog ?
