Rules for Repost

April 11, 2010

I accept it as a wonderful compliment to see my work reappear on other websites, blogs and publications.  All of my content is researched and original unless otherwise noted.  Oftentimes hours (and even days) have been devoted to developing a single blog post.  I ask that you please follow these guidelines for reposting any of the material provided from this blog.  Reposting original material from this blog not within the following guidelines is both unethical and illegal:

1)      Any content taken from this blog should be properly and visibly credited with a link back to the blog: http://theinclusivechurch.wordpress.com/ -or – www.theinclusivechurch.com.

2)      Please introduce the content and properly credit it in a way that it would not be misinterpreted as original content researched, written or produced by a writer associated with the reposting blog, website or publication.  Unless otherwise noted, all posts on this blog have been authored by Amy Fenton Lee.

3)      Reposts may include up to 150 words of the content from a single post from this blog without requesting my permission.  You can determine this by cutting and pasting the portion of the post desired for repost into a word document and running a word count.

4)      If you desire to repost  more than 150 words of an article please email me at amy@theinclusivechurch.com for my rate sheet.  Purchasing dual/shared rights to a single post ranges from $100 to $300.

Thank you!  Nothing brings me greater joy than to know the content from this blog has been useful in helping churches successfully include children with special needs.  – Amy Fenton Lee

  1. Can I steal your rules for re-posts? Half kidding, but maybe serious. I need to give it some thought. I have come across this situation before and was torn between my desire to equip however possible and concern over people re-posting things and causing confusion regarding the origin. I think you have hit a happy medium which brings me back to my original question, can I steal it?

    P.S. – I would add this to you about page so that it doesn’t get “lost” in other posts.

  2. Thank you Wayne! Of course you can use it (what a great compliment). I had wrestled some on whether or not I needed a rules for repost. But after putting around 10 hours into a particular post – and then finding it reposted without a proper introduction, virtually verbatum and in full, I decided it was time to do this.

    I think most writers know that developing content and presenting it well takes a lot of effort. Because we are all human, sometimes a lapse in judgment and the quick need for content wins out over going that extra step (of requesting permission or appropriately “rewarding” the original writer).

  3. At some point you have to accept it. For a while spam blogs were growing up everywhere like weeds. I think Google has done a great job killing most of them off and making it not worth while.

    Lately I’ve just not cared as much, most of the time any link from a real site is worth the yucking feeling it gives me. Links are the currency of the Internet, so as long as something points back I feel like they’ve paid for it.

    I think these are good guidelines anyway.

  4. Tony – I hear you. I always value what you have to say (you set the bar for the rest of us kidmin bloggers). The example I mentioned above was definitely not on a spammer’s site. Without going into more detail, it was a situation that let me know that it was time to address this.

    And “yes”…links are currency! I am nearly always THRILLED to see anyone talking about my blog (it means someone is reading it other than my mother!).
