Ravings of a Naked Photographer

Whilst I’m not going to make a habit of this issue; sorry to those who do, but it just sounds like scratched vinyl after a while, or just moaning for the sake of it; it has come to my attention (thanks Google webmaster tools) that some, admittedly very very stupid, competitor felt the urge to ‘borrow’ some text; o.k. most of the page; from The Naked Photographer site. Now normarily I’d not notice, mostly because i really couldn’t care less if a lower life form feels the need to copy the smart kid sitting next to him in the exam, but since my site statistics pointed this one out to me i thought it might be worth a little look, after all it may amuse me then i could spend some time amusing others about it.

Upon opening the afore mentioned site i hit ‘view source’ (sorry old web designer habits die hard, i like to appreciate the formatting of code (booooooring), although this guy’s was a mess) after a little while i find a link to the Naked Tog home page, interesting i thought……. switching back to ‘human’ view i discovered best part of my ‘about’ page, with a few adjustments here and there to fit the site it was residing upon, i hasten to add this is where the spelling, grammar and typo problems seemed to reside also.

It was the most perfect example of DONT ‘cut ’n’ paste’ unless you know what you are doing, unfortunately it seems i do and he doesn’t , he’d left the text link anchor where ‘The Naked Photographer’ should be and had simply written his own name as the anchor text (Like THIS), thus completely missing the fact that he has a link to The Naked Tog on his ‘Boudoir’ page, shame really.

I’m not going to lower myself to giving the guy a link, but hey, you know who you are and thanks for the link to The Naked Photographer, the invoice for copyrighting services is in the post.
