I'm A Happy Beauty Blogger!!!

Some of you may remember back in February I wrote about one of my articles that had been stolen by another weird cheapish looking site. A site probably set up just to sell stuff. They had shamelessly copied and pasted an entry without any link back. I responded with this post:


On Twitter today I caught a conversation between Sunny from Mostly Sunny and Kelly K from VampyVarnish. Apparently someone stole picture(s) from Sunny and watermarked it/them as their own.

ARGH!!!

Again, like mentioned in the above article, we work hard to prepare our articles, some of us have full time jobs and still do this because we love it!

This takes part of the fun away!

It doesn't take much to link back to the original!

I always do it!

Linking back to blogs, to Twitter accounts or facebook pages (although I rarely do since I have an aversion for it) won't take anything away. On the contrary, I believe it makes for a better, friendlier community.

It is a community!

Do pay these ladies a visit, I'm sure you will enjoy what they do!


Sunny's 




Kelly K's




So, why am I a happy Blogger??? Because Sunny suggested I tweet Word Press about the theft. I went back to my emails to find the link so I could tweet it, clicked on it aaaaaannnddd.... IT'S GONE!!!

The link is broken, replaced by a more serious looking company, yes a company, not a free for all kind of cheapish site. Also, googling the page comes up with nothing!

So, I'm a happy beauty blogger! :D

I know! Sunny is so sweet it makes me sad that this happened to her. I was lucky the site was a bad one to begin with so it simply disapeared. :)

I know, I guess since there is no "blog etiquette" per say, some think they can do what they want.

I'm SO happy WP got it sorted out! Sorry for ranting about the photo theft. I wasn't going to make a big fuss but with what happened to Kelly it all came back to me LOL

It's OK. I just have to keep working! Nobody can steal it all :)

You had every right to be angry! I know there isn't much we can do about these situations but I guess writing about it helps. Now I don't know how I'll fair when I do find a full time job! Yikes! :)

Fabulous! I had to deal with someone who stole two years' worth of posts...so I understand the excitement of having them banished!

OMG Sweetie! Two YEARS! This is just horrible! Sunny mentioned something had happened to you but I had no idea! I can't even start to imagine how it must have felt. I was so angry and frustrated for just one, more would have been hellish! I'm so sorry!

Yay! You got a resolution and so did I! I still hate those who steal making it their own. Karma is only what I wish for those who are too lazy to do things on their own!

Ah Olivia, I definitely do believe that we do get what we deserve. Being good can only be beneficial. I'm so happy to learn you got a resolution as well. That's great news! :)
