Notice
I found an unauthorized translation of my website online, one that included a "copyright" notice listing the name of the translator ... not mine. I had to ask the person to take it down.
I'm sorry to sound persnickity, but folks, PLEASE ask my permission before translating ANYTHING from my websites. You are quite free to link without my permission. That's like a book citation. I'm flattered. But if you want to quote large sections of my material on your website or live journal OR translate it into another language, please ask my permission first. And whatever you do, do not put a copyright notice with your own name in it. This material is copyrighted to me, and someone else attempting to copyright it could result in my not being able to publish it.
Again, I really hate to sound like a bitch, and if you ask my permission first, I will almost CERTAINLY give it as long as you cite me. But the copyright thing is problematic and could potentially prevent me from publishing my own material, so please, PLEASE don't make me have to send a cease-and-desist notice. It scares the wits out of someone else and makes me feel like an ogre.
Thanks!
(Also, I've corrected all links. Sorry for the confusion. My address was changed automatically and I didn't realize it myself until recently. I'm not in the habit of consulting my own website. LOL! [I'm not that narcissic. (g)])
