Aggravation of a Blogger
I enjoy blogging quite a bit. Blogging lets me pass on some of the knowledge I've accrued over the past years as well as allows me to get feedback on my ideas from readers. I've probably learned more in the last four months of blogging than I have on my own in quite a while. To all of my readers, I'm quite thankful.
There's really only one aspect of blogging that burns me to no end and that's when other bloggers copy my blog posts, word for word. No citations or requests for permission--simply word for word copying. Over the last months, I've had to ask dozens of other bloggers to remove MY posts from THEIR blog. Use my code, use my theories, but don't take articles that I've worked hard on; have some integrity!
The latest blog to steal my content is at:

Hopefully I'll have better luck in the new year. Happy holidays to all of you!

Sooner or later you'll run across a regular expression. With their cryptic syntax, confusing documentation and massive learning curve, most developers settle for copying and pasting them from StackOverflow and hoping they work. But what if you could decode regular expressions and harness their power? In...
![Fix Anchor URLs Using MooTools 1.2]()
The administrative control panel I build for my customers features FCKEditor, a powerful WYSIWYG editor that allows the customer to add links, bold text, create ordered lists, and so on. I provide training and documentation to the customers but many times they simply forget to...
![Duplicate the jQuery Homepage Tooltips Using Dojo]()
The jQuery homepage has a pretty suave tooltip-like effect as seen below:
Here's how to accomplish this same effect using Dojo.
The XHTML
The above HTML was taken directly from the jQuery homepage -- no changes.
The CSS
The above CSS has been slightly modified to match the CSS rules already...
Bah
it sucks to get copied without any thanks or source.. :/
but keep it up
>>To all of my readers, I’m quite thankful.
you are very welcome :)
I wrote in his comments and asked to him remove it…
Keep up the good work.
Thank you for that Mark. I commented a few days back to do so and the person still hasn’t removed my article. I’m not too upset about it — just frustrated.
Hopefully better luck in the new year!
