Word Theft (and Recovery)

* This post has been edited, since the situation's been rectified. In short, I stumbled across unattributed use of some of my work from this blog on a major site.

So, just a reminder -- all of my work is copyright-protected. I'm thrilled and grateful to be quoted as long as there is proper attribution, and if possible there should be a link back to the original post. I am very easy to contact if you have questions about this. My intellectual and creative property is my livelihood, and using it without attribution amounts to stealing from me, even if that's not the intention. I always assume that there is great honesty and trust in the textile, craft and sustainability community, and I believe that's true, but you know what they say -- you still have to tie up the horses.

That's a shame, but glad it's fixed. I added "Copyscape" to mine after the same happened.

Yikes! It's amazing what people will do when they think they can get away with it. At least she's going to credit you properly now. I honestly can't understand why people plaigerise when it's so easy now to give proper credit to people.
