Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

Mahatma ghandi*

I posted some content yesterday about how I got whitelisted to be a beta tester for Gaimin.io.
To cut a long story short, after I finished configuring the software, I discovered that each gaimin beta tester was given his own referral link to invite people to come and be among the early adopters for gaimin.
I'm excited to be the bearer of good news, so I'm heading straight to the hive and writing articles for Gaimin, as well as inviting as many hiveans as possible to join.

Because I am new to gaimin, I cannot write a complete article for the software without proper knowledge.

So I simply copied some important FAQs from the website and pasted them into my article just after the introduction paragraph.
And, of course, I've included a link to the source, which is the Gaimin.io FAQ page.
By the way, I has just been referred to a discord server called The Terminal by @crrdlx, which was a server full of wise people dedicated to answering all the questions you may have about hive. In my opinion, all newbies should join this server because the folks there are extremely friendly and always willing to help others.

That's when one of The Terminal's moderator mentioned me.

He made me realise that simply copying someone else's writing and pasting it into my blog without attribution is unethical.

People who want to read the FAQ about the software should go to gaimin.io themselves.
Rather than copying the entire FAQ, why not just leave the link so people can read it directly?

why not just leave the links, and tell your readers what "you" think about everything?

Perhaps because I have a functioning brain, I quickly grasp the information that @wesphilbin attempted to implant in my mind. You, sir, have taught me something new today.
