[stylist] Web sites and blogs

[Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter]

Anything posted on blogs and websites is considered as being published. A
lot of editors will not take material posted on social media or blogs or
websites because it's considered previously published. Exceptions are lists
like Stylist because it's deemed an online writing community, and therefore
treated differently. So this doesn't mean your material couldn't be lifted,
but posting it on your blog already categorizes it as published, and there's
proof of publication date. If some stranger tried to lift your material, it
would be difficult to prove in their favor because any publication of it
would come after your publication date. And it's really no different than if
you were to publish material on another blog or website. Hope this makes
sense.

I have a blog/web site on word press. I post a lot of things on their.
Sometimes, book reviews, sometimes thoughts on various experiences or things
going on in the world, sometimes rants. I don't really post my writing up
there, in terms of original fiction, because I'm nervous about putting my
stuff on a blog that anyone can read and copy from. My fan fiction doesn't
count because it's obvious fan fiction and nobody could try to publish it.
lol. So, my blog is my place to write an almost journal I guess. I'd like to
have a separate site, but I don't know how to do the stuff necessary, don't
write HTML code, couldn't begin to know how to set up a newsletter or store
or link to other sites, that kind of thing. But someday, if I can afford to
hire someone to do it, that's what I'd like.

Hi,

I'm wondering how many people have web sites or blogs, what's the best
places for them? What tech do you need to keep your web site up to date or
write on your blog. And, what do you put on your web site or write on your
blog. I very rarely post to facebook so have no idea what I might post in a
blog. I think I can get someone to build me a web site which I'm told one
needs for self promotion, but again what would I put there. I know I'm going
to be just awful at self promotion LOL, I have a hard enough time write a
short bio when my local group needs one.
So, anyone want to chime in with suggestions re self promotion.
Tessa
