This should be really interesting to you all. Basically why am I writing this post? I wanted to share a small incident that just happended recently between two great bloggers namely, myself and Frank (who blogs at bloggermint.com).
Well the issue was very complicated and simple, I'll tell you what exactly just happened between us. But first lets speak about the Author of Bloggermint, Mr.Frank Oh! he's a great person and a professional blogger, and very straight to his point and definitely a true business men.
When I started my blogging career, a triple of months back, I was wondering why did I started blogging? But some time later it became Funn! and later on it became very interesting when I found this site 'bloggermint.com', then I thought Oh, man what a awesome site, I found it very simple enough and the content being really truthfull. Then and their I decided, Yes! I've to do something like that.
Hence, I surfed the entire site. It was fun and I also found some free 'blogging templates', well this is where the 'issue' starts, I downloaded one of his free blogger template and installed it. Being learnt on how to design or edit template, I just completely renovated the basic template provided by Mr.Frank. Some days later, I asked Frank to post one of my post as a guest author, that is when he visited my site. And I suppose he was really astonished by the renovation of his template, I think he found it, really good. But not for much time, until he see's the 'FOOTER'. The credits are vanished completely, He might have thought, " I did this template with lot of hardwork and smartness, and this is what I get? I am dissappointed!".
He then send me a mail with 'Subject line: WARNING', and says "Caution the credits of my template has been removed, or else get a full licence of my template by paying $15".Then I replied "Oh, my I'm a newbie blogger, I haven't even settled with my blog, how am I gonna ever pay you with so much of bucks!", but then I compromised with him with no intention of start a glitch, by saying, "Its fine, No worries! I've put creadits at the footer of my template".
Well long story in short, "Don't mess with professional bloggers! try to be yourself". Well this isn't the end, later on we've been really good people and friends. I've even asked him to publish one of my creative photoshop work, sooner or later he might publish it!
