hello all. this is my first comment too. I have upvoted a few because of valid points raised. that being said I hope someone is taking it all in.
I do have a few questions being new here. First I am not a content creator, but I have seen some great work done by others on the web that should be highlighted for others to see. Is there a means to do that here? Even when the content doesn't originate here? Can I put on a disclaimer and note the original work to its owner?
Thanks for any help or pointers you all can give.
You can highlight other people's work in your posts, but not copy it. Any time you reference someone else's original content, cite the source. It's not all that different than writing a paper for school, and there's nothing wrong with incorporating cited sources that support what you're blogging about. It takes a minute, but once you break the "retweet" and "share on Facebook" habits we've all gotten accustomed to, you'll do fine. Oh, and welcome to Steemit!
