Alter, transform, or build upon this work.
Repost any more than 50% of an article or blog on your site.
Re-Posting and Translation Rights
I do not permit the re-posting of my posts in their entirety without prior consent. This is because Google penalizes websites for publishing duplicate content. It often can’t tell which site hosts the original, so I risk getting penalized myself for granting permission.
In addition, I don’t allow the translation and publication of my work in other languages without prior consent. This is for the purpose of quality control.

Guest bloggers retain the copyright to the posts they write. The above permission guidelines do not apply to their work. If you are interested in re-posting or publishing their content, you must contact them directly. I cannot serve as a broker, agent, or contact point.
