Shelagh apparently has a new project: www.writingwise.com

I found this

on her User Agreement, but www.copyscape.com found the original source of the articles on the website.

Apparently, Shelagh's idea of a website is wholesale IP theft. She apparently thinks she can add value to www.ezinearticles.com by reposting their articles to her own domain.

The one I googled, Yuwanda Black's article, had this addendum:
[FONT=Arial, Arial, Helvetica] May be reprinted with inclusion of the following: ©2000-2050, Yuwanda Black. InkwellEditorial.com  THE business portal for and about the editorial and creative industries. First-hand freelance success stories, e-courses, job postings, resume tips, advice on the business of freelancing, and more![/FONT]
which was included in the following form:
Yuwanda Black is the publisher of InkwellEditorial.com: THE business portal for and about the editorial and creative industries. First-hand freelance success stories, e-courses, job postings, resume tips, advice on the business of freelancing, and more! Launch a writing career in 30 days or less -- guaranteed! Log on to learn how.
So I suppose that's legit, but I haven't checked them all.
Didn't writingwise used to belong to Dreamwhosit and Jeff and Sheila was just a member? Or am I thinking of some really similarly named website?

No, you're correct. Stephanie Courdray's site. The Wayback Machine shows the last update in April of 2005, so I think that the robots.txt file's been modified.

Yes, that's the only one I've found that allows reprints. The others do not.

Stephanie gave WW to Shelagh in June '06, during The Troubles. Site and forum have been closed for "revamping" since May '07.
