I came across Lorelle Van Fossen’s Wordpress blog and had a good rummage around. While having a rummage in Lorelle’s “drawers” I came across a topic dealing with whether we should use proper English or not in our writing and you can find the post that resulted here.

Lorelle, the lady that she obviously is, left me a comment.

Oooooh, thank you - I love a comment! Marry me!

It means someone is actually reading this stuff and Michael and I are not lonely guys, keybashing our lives away.

Now I picked up the topic material for my post from Lorelle’s blog, in fact from a comment left on one of her posts by one of her readers. I gave that comment and Lorelle’s blog full credit for where I had lifted the comment from and guess what - Lorelle obviously has something telling her when someone like me posts something about her blog or herself and she swung on by and gave her view.

Thank you Lorelle

Lifting ideas from someone else need not be covered up and hoarded as “your own work”; credit is due where credit is due and no-one likes a plagiarist as Michael and I have covered here several times. If you are going to use someone else’s work, then make sure you quote them and give them a link as you never know what is going to come right back for you. Citing other people’s work is also a fantastic way to illustrate your own point and argument as well as stimulating debate and attracting even more attention to what you have produced.

Flattery is also a sure-fire way of attracting attention of web pundits that have a far greater presence and credibility than you may have yourself so flatter away and hope they swing by to check you out.

So, I strongly recommend that you visit Lorelle on Wordpress, a blog about how to blog using Wordpress and filled with great stuff to populate any Wordpress blog and get the very best out of it.

Are you free for dinner this weekend Lorelle?
