Your work is awesome. I can’t wait until your “out there” to do design work. I would love to have you design my site. :)

Stéphanie, I’m doing well. Good to have you around again ;)

Glad you like the design here. Too bad I will be changing it (for the better of course!).

Can’t wait to see a kick of life back in watc :)

Hi Nyssa,

How are you doing? Just got back from Turkey.

I checked out the new design on this website and the work you did for your photographer friend. They both are great. I really like the little side tabs on soundslikerain.com.

I also really love the look of your website, it’s got green and blue, two of my favorite colors :-)

I’ll pump back some life into web and the city pretty soon, I hope to see you there.

Cheers,

Stéphanie

It is handy, definitely. An interesting idea eh?….

Ah, I was wondering about that. Oh well, still handy for checking for stolen content, and it has given me an interesting idea…

Thanks, Mike.

That’s shocking really. If that was happening to me, well, I’d be extremely upset. Being accused of being a fake isn’t very nice, I imagine. :(

I’ve checked out Copyscape, though as far as I can see, it just looks for copies of the actual content (text), as it shows MyBlogLog and Ziki for me, and they show my recent entries through the feed. So.

Your work is looking awesome, as usual. :)

As for theft, I have not experienced it myself. However, my girlfriend’s artwork is constantly being stolen, some even go to the extent of claiming that my girlfriend is a fake. Of course this is not true, and she just has to contact site owners and hosts to have the content removed.

I know of a tool which supposedly tracks for exact copies of your sites, I haven’t found any yet so I can’t comment on it’s effectiveness, but hey, it’s worth a try! Copyscape
