Today, I was searching the internet and happened to come across one of my articles displayed on another person's blog. 

While I do not have a problem with someone else using my articles, I do insist on either a link back to my website, or that they would insert my full contact information, at the very bottom of the blog, giving me full credit for the article and the source from which it came......ME!   Now it would also make sense to me that someone would ask for permission to re-post another person's blog entry or article.

I emailed this guy, and asked him to either reference the source properly or remove it from his website.

So where do I find the Blogging Rule Book anyway ?

I want a copy of that book  when you find it. :)   I do know that copy and pasting someone else's articles is an infringement of their work.  That's about the extent of my knowledge.  Oh, don't be rude on someone elses post.

Elizabeth, sorry to hear you just an such an unpleasant experience. I don't know if there is a blogging rule book, but we should all be practicing blogging ethics. Totally not cool to take credit for other peoples work. I'll be looking to see if someone has a better answer to your post.

Elizabeth I agree with you. You should be credited for the work you do and the time, talent, and money you may have put in to getting these things completed.
