Glad to hear you're back. I've just joined technorati but it sounds like maybe it wasn't a good idea. Prior to reading your post about it, it wasn't impressing me too much anyway. Yay. Glad to hear you’re back.

The good news is, I have reconsidered my decision after receiving encouraging comments and eMails like yours! And, a possible solution was outlined in the recent "Lighthouse License" post that may help you, also?<br/><br/>The bad news is either the RSS feeds or Technorati is not sending out my new posts again. I know my RSS feed is valid and Technorati has been a headache since day 1.<br/>Technorati has indexed my posts and tags on one day only to see them disappear on the following day. Blog reactions also disappear and reappear. And, Technorati Support seems to be on permanent vacation! Thank you, All Seeing Eye!

I enjoy coming to your site. Being stuck in the middle of Texas, I don't have access to wonderful Lighthouses. I do hope you reconsider you decision. Please...<br/>I know what it is like to find your idea a few days later one someone else's blog that visited your own blog. I try my best to credit the ideas I get for my blog. It's a good policy for everyone. It biulds traffic the right way. When I find my idea somewhere else, I usually leave a note on that post telling them "thank you for dropping by my blog and reading my post." I then include a link to my original post. There is no way I can "prevent" the person from deleting my message... But it lets me feel better. It does give someone who made an honest mistake to apologize though.

I have started to post again on a trial basis to see what happens!

Hopefully, the blogging support and lessons I have learned recently will help other bloggers, too?
Lighthouse License may have one bright solution for all bloggers to consider?

Everyone needs a break ! Perhaps this is the best thing to do, and come back with a better perspective on how you want to do things on your blog. While you are away, give the blog to a co-author so you can keep fresh content on your site.

There are a few things to do on your blog to stop copy & paster’s, however they are not fool proof.

If there is anything I can do , just ask, as we will be monitoring your progress. Personally, I like this site, and do not want to see it go !

Once again, ” I would not give in ” it only takes one egg …

It is a shame that some people don’t play a fair game!
A little poetic humor for the way this situation has shocked me!

Maybe, DrowseyMonkey’s advice for a Blogging Break will help renew my spirit?
For everyone who publishes content on the internet, Digital Desperadoes should not be the focus of our precious spare time.
