If it is an consolation, I know what you mean about the commenting/written communication lethargy. I have experienced that myself a few times. I have even considered quitting the blog a few times because of it, but I always manage to find my footing again. You will too! 🙂

I think the only reason FGR had a problem was because the image in question had been used in her site’s branding. She (and others bloggers, myself included) is able to post editorial images due to the fair use clause in US copyright law. As I said, many publications actually send Joanna their images directly, because it is a way of garnering publicity for themselves. There is definitely a line that needs to be followed though in using these types of images – they always have to be credited properly!

As for your comments, I am sorry you are having problems with the commenting system. I wonder if anyone else is experiencing these. What browser do you use? All I can think is perhaps it isn’t compatible with Disqus? If I have some more information I may be able to do some checking for you.

I think most of this is common sense, but its easy to overlook at times, especially for inexperienced bloggers!

I doubt people would copy anything from my blog either, but you never know… its better to have some sort of creative commons license in place that covers your bases IF it happens, than having nothing at all and be scrambling WHEN it does.
