Obtaining Content

  • This is probably a very basic question, for everyone but me. I’m just starting my first blog and I’m concerned about the rules, ethics and courtesies that govern obtaining content. While I will certainly write some of my own articles and provide as much original content as possible, how do I post articles that belong to others? Can I even do that? Should I get permission first? Is there any particular way I’m supposed to give credit? I’m sorry to ask such a seemingly simple question but I never want to be seen as “stealing” another person’s work and I have yet to find any guidelines on this subject.
