WEBMGRS Digest for Sunday, March 11, 2012. 1. Re: webmgrs digest: March 08, 2012 2. Re: webmgrs digest: March 08, 2012
---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Re: webmgrs digest: March 08, 2012 From: Ruth Wahtera <wahtera.r...@gmail.com> Date: Fri, 9 Mar 2012 17:22:21 -0500 X-Message-Number: 1 I agree with Harriet and Diane, and I'd like to address the issue of copyright that Kay's statement brings up. I recommend that you not copyright. The our goal is to educate, to get information out, not to protect our revenue. Personally, I'm delighted when someone shares our materials. Of course I love to get credit, but that's gravy. The important thing is sharing. Besides, it's difficult to police copyrights. So what's the point? I tend to be silent on the copyright issue or use the increasingly common Creative Commons licensing system. <http://creativecommons.org/licenses/> Ruth Wahtera | 845-339-6568 <http://grant-writing-resources.blogspot.com/> Connect: [image: LinkedIn] <http://www.linkedin.com/in/ruthwahtera> [image: Facebook]<http://www.facebook.com/help/?page=806#%21/ruth.wahtera?ref=profile> [image: Twitter] <http://twitter.com/Wahtera> On Fri, Mar 9, 2012 at 3:34 PM, Harriet Tower <hfto...@yahoo.com> wrote: > I completely agree with Diane of Montana. > > Harriet Tower, Communications Director > AAUW California. www.aauw-ca.org > 408-223-2141 > > Sent from my iPad > > On Mar 8, 2012, at 10:00 PM, "web managers digest" < > webmgrs@listsrv.aauw.org> wrote: > > > WEBMGRS Digest for Thursday, March 08, 2012. > > > > 1.

Several times a virus/worm infected my branch website or personal website. In all instances, the server host removed the malware, notified me and asked me to change my password. Also, users need to have security software installed that scans incoming email and monitors visited websites to detect security risks.
