I need to put this sort of thing on my blog. Hadn’t thought of that yet, but you are so right. Do you mind if I copy and edit it somewhat on my site for my specific needs?

I was just thinking the other day that a college student could basically write an entire research paper on DID with the stuff I have on my site. Obviously I can’t totally keep them from doing that, but it would be upsetting, and HUGELY upsetting if someone went so far as to publish something based on what I wrote.

Feel free to use. I was tempted to add the appropriate reference at the end of each of my blogs, but it was too much trouble!

Not much can be done if someone copies your work outside of the internet. But if you ever want to publish, just keep records of the date of your posts – export your blog often and save, etc. You will have proof of first creation.

Thank you so much for adding this. I had concerns about this for my blogs. Do you mind if I also use this as an example to write one for my blogs? Or if there is a site to go to for it can you please let me know.

Hi Johnamusing

BTW – I like your username!

You can use this as an example, but I have no idea how well this would protect you regarding copyrights.

And if you use this, you already have the exact reference format up there for this blog entry!

Good luck with your blogs

Emily
