That's definitely my website.
All the work on here on SteemIt will definitely be myself. Completely understand what you mean about copyright infringement, and appreciate your concern It's never been me to mirror articles without giving people credit, but this one, as well as the other two on SteemIt, and all other future articles on here at least will be by myself only. Only on my website do I feature other's content, and its with the work sourced every single time.
Quick question though:
Does my work that has already published on my own website need to be sourced as a link? Never really attempted anything like that. Am fine doing so, or just leaving it as is, whatever works really. Just figured since it's my work and am linking to the website at the bottom with the link it would be enough. Let me know either way.
That makes this more of a verification issue. Do you have an "about TheBreakAway" page, or something similar? I'd add something like "You can also find me on Steemit.com" on that page or create a page if you need to, then provide that link in place of the one under your photo at the top of your post. And to cover the bases at the bottom provide the link to the website post at the bottom.
That is just a suggestion to prevent someone else from questioning, you can always point out that the link is there.
We're hoping as the platform develops there will be a way to show which users have verified their identity or verified that they own the content they are crossposting.
I apologize for the inconvenience. If you have any further questions, let us know.
Thank You! ☙
