I would agree for almost the entire portion. I do think we have very few experts in any field of life. Social Media is an ever changing thing and I highly doubt that someone is better than another in diagnosing it’s effects or usefulness to us all.

I take what I have been given, dissect and put it back together, or leave it apart if it’s better that way, to make something work for me.

John, I would agree with you that there seem to be a lot of social media "gurus" out there right now. Heck… I'm probably that person in my congregation! But that's really the extent of my reach. Yes I have some blog followers outside of my congregation and I don't know what they're doing with my content. Probably just reading it as I haven't really posted any great "how to's" or anything of that nature. That said… I've been discouraged enough by the machine that is my church that any person in their right mind would just give up on the whole social media for ministry thing. But I'm still pushing… and trying not to be too over-bearing with it. Your content keeps me going at times.

I can understand your frustration (for lack of a better word) with the person who stole your content and passed it off as his own. That is wrong and I feel that people should only take credit for their own ideas. I will admit that I printed out your post on "8 Steps to starting a blog" and used it to start a blog for my senior pastor's wife http://www.musings.us However I did not take credit for it and I printed your name at the top of the document I gave her. You wrote it… not me, and that's the way it should stay!

I don't know anything, which qualifies me to be a blogger.

If you believe in intellectual property and copyright, I'd say you've got a case to get paid yourself.

The professor that I work for had a student take a bunch of the digest notes from greek class and use them to write his own book. This doesn't seem like that big of a deal until I came on the scene and now everyone is paranoid of plagerism. I can't stand posers. I work my rear off at this desk to try to write things that matter.
However, Ancoti is found to again be a righteous brother who's wisdom permeates the comments.

On the other hand, Coach Dwight, my high school football coach would say:
"Jimmy, Don't get mad, get even."
