Was my blog deleted?

[christina>you]

I posted a blog earlier, but now it's not there.

Why?

*ping Davey ping* <= he'll have to answer this one for you. I don't work with the blog section much.

Was it about anything non-technical? Blogs here must be technically oriented. http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread56799.html

[christina>you]

It was about the iPhone.

[John A]

Well, I guess you'll just have to get in touch with Davey, then.

[joshSCH]

It was about the iPhone.

Oh, no wonder why it was deleted.. =p

[christina>you]

Lol it was talking about why you shouldn't buy it.

[joshSCH]

Oh then what the hell was it deleted for!?:ooh: (Outrage!)

[christina>you]

Hahah.

I have no clue... I'll have to PM Davey sometime soon.

[edit] - Now, actually. ;)

It was deleted because the piece was cut and pasted, word for word, from another site. The original being part of an editorial at WServerNews

When writing a blog entry feel free to quote from another blog and reference it, but you still need to actually be writing something original, adding your own opinion, putting your spin onto it. You can't just copy something wholesale that has already been posted elsewhere.

Oh.

[Duki]

well if it means anything... i thought it was a good article.

[christina>you]

It was a good article, I just didn't know that I couldn't copy and paste. It was my first blog ever, but now I'll know what to do.

I learned that plagiarism is a bad thing in the third grade. Aren't you 17?

Do you ever stop?!

I didn't realize that you couldn't do that in a BLOG.

You can stop with the harassing remarks now.

[Narue]

>Do you ever stop?!
No.

>I didn't realize that you couldn't do that in a BLOG.
What? Take someone else's work and post it as your own? That kind of applies everywhere, don't you think?

>You can stop with the harassing remarks now.
I'm not harassing you. You're just too sensitive.

I didn't mean to post it as my own; I gave the link to the source. I got it in an email and thought it was interesting, so I reposted it on here.>You can stop with the harassing remarks now.
I'm not harassing you. You're just too sensitive. Yeah, I'm too sensitive and you're too mean. Fair enough?

[Narue]

>I didn't mean to post it as my own; I gave the link to the source.
I'm sorry. I thought you copied it verbatim and posted the text as your blog.

>Yeah, I'm too sensitive and you're too mean. Fair enough?
That works for me. I never claimed to be otherwise.

[joshSCH]

I'm sorry.

Haha.. never seen Narue say that before.. ;)

>Haha.. never seen Narue say that before..
I apologize when I make a legitimate mistake. It just happens so rarely that you never see it. ;)
