I am happy to have anyone use excerpts from my blog posts, credit me, and link back to my post.  To use excerpts, with credits and links, you do not need to ask my permission, I am giving you permission here.  Do not use excerpts without crediting me and linking to my blog post. 

I, Liz O’Sullivan (Elizabeth L. O’Sullivan) own the copyright to all my blog posts. 

If you wish to repost an entire post of mine, even with credits and links, ask my permission before you publish.  I will almost certainly give you permission, but I need to know before it’s published, and I need you to credit me and link to my original post.
