The Business of Blogging

I fell into blogging very haphazardly - first, I had a somewhat random thoughts journal, then it was food, then a different format on food. Plus other random blogs that will remain nameless. I've always tried to be careful in terms of what published materials I cross reference or name, and I always give credit where credit is due. For example, if I rely on a recipe from Food Network or a cookbook, I try to always give a website link or some other reference to the media on which I relied. I thought that was fair - while it is true that I rarely adhere to a recipe, I felt my inspiration should be note. But perhaps that isn't enough, given Alosha's Kitchen's run-in with the publishing world....
