That said, my friend linked a DIY she did just this week (and I have since done) of the garden planter storage idea. It really is a good idea. I was able to follow it back to the original blog and LOVED so much of her stuff. As an author, I would really get upset if someone printed or posted my work without sourcing it. Intellectual property still belongs to the owner regardless of it's form.

I had 15-20 boards and HUNDREDS of pins. 99% of which I had no idea who's they were or where they came from. MY BAD!!!<br /><br />I am sorry to admit that it took something like your Redbook fiasco to get my attention, and I am truly glad your situation has worked out.<br /><br />Going forward, I commit to stop 'repinning' at random without checking to make sure it is linked to the ORIGINAL source as far as I am able.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your stories, and I truly enjoy your blogs. As a 'closet geek' (by choice, not by ridicule) I get my fix from all the geeky goodies you share.<br /><br />Thank you again, and I wish you much more success in 2013 than you ever imagined!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05515638052743559635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-67437447828136196562013-01-02T22:14:16.346-05:002013-01-02T22:14:16.346-05:00I am very glad you are doing something for Give Ki...I am very glad you are doing something for Give Kids the World.

These nerdgirls are frickin' RELENTLESS!" Well done, Jen, well played, ladies, but I gotta agree with Josh and FM; I'm fairly certain they would've blown the whole thing off if they hadn't been served/read SO hard. To be Klingon about it, they are no longer your enemy, but that doesn't necessarily make them your friend now, either. By all means, be the pro-fesh-oh-NAL that you are, but stay frosty, lest they forget themselves again with another less-read/loved blogger.<br /><br />Your Pal,<br /><br />StormStorm the Klingonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-43775079671759790282013-01-01T22:57:31.788-05:002013-01-01T22:57:31.788-05:00Well, all right then.

Sadly, I think that if it hadn't have been for your loyal following (and count me as a loyal follower), it's possible that Redbook wouldn't have owned up and tried to make it right so quickly. I hope that they're "learned a lesson" from this, but from the number of sites that now exist that try to support and protect intellectual property from blatant theft like this, I do think it takes constant vigilance. <br />There are people who apparently think that anything seen online is up for grabs without attribution. We need to continue to keep people honest! :)<br />Best wishes for 2013, Jen, and everyone.

I find myself utterly distracted, however, by the incomprehensible concept of the fact that Cake Wrecks got a snarky, dismissive review. My jaw literally dropped when I read that. Perhaps that reviewer lacks a Funny Bone? Cake Wrecks is so funny, how can--? I can't even--! Do you know what I mean?! So, in the Redbook facebook post about brides and wedding dresses, I went ahead and wrote a reminder of the importance of cakes and posted a cake wrecks link. When planning a wedding, instead of focussing on slimming down, I think it is more important to laugh as often as possible, and to choose a good cake! : ) xoxoxox Jen & John and Epbot and Cake Wreck fans! xoxoxoo<br />~ Jan Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-18930097486547783182012-12-31T18:14:15.808-05:002012-12-31T18:14:15.808-05:00We are a little terrifying, aren't we?
