Please Do Not Steal From Me

This past Easter I noticed a large increase in traffic on this blog. It did boost my ego a bit, but I had this strange feeling in the back of my mind that something was up. Well, today I checked the incoming links and found that two people had stolen the image from this post. It’s not anything I worked forever on, or even that I’m particularly proud of. If the bloggers in question had asked, I would have gladly given permission for the use of the image for the price of a link back. But they didn’t, which irritated me.
So I decided to fight back. Thanks to advice from my Twitter friend Shey I made a little change to the image (above) that shows up (illegally) on their site.
I’d link to them, but — hey, why reward a thief with a link? So, the image above will have to do. Meanwhile, my Twitter friends and I are having so much fun imagining the look on their faces when this lovely graphic replaces the one they stole from me!
