5. Please do not duplicate my written content in any way.  I work very hard and spend countless hours writing for my blog and developing recipes, and researching information for posts.  I don’t charge for this, so please be respectful of my work.  Duplicating content isn’t just wrong, it’s bad for business.  It hurts our Google rankings because it will be indexed as duplicate and repeat content.  If you would like to share something from Real Food Girl: Unmodified, please rewrite it in your own words, summarize, or paraphrase and link to the text on my site rather than cutting and pasting.  If your unsure, email me beforehand.

I love interacting with all of you.  I enjoy reading your comments and thoughts on my blog and Facebook page.  With many personality types out there and lots of fans/followers and readers it’s likely I’ll step on some toes or ruffle feathers from time to time (unintentionally of course).   If I perturb or upset you, know there are plenty of other places online where you can go and find like-minded people.  Know that I am not going to change who I am, nor am I going to change my passion or my mission to cater to the interests/sensitivities of others.  If you are dissatisfied or disturbed in any manner with Real Food Girl: Unmodified or your use of Real Food Girl: Unmodified, then your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue your use of Real Food Girl: Unmodified. It’s that simple.

KaceyCooks:   Some of my earlier photos are watermarked with the name KaceyCooks.  KaceyCooks was the original  name of my food blog.  When I started making decisions about my brand and what that would entail, it became clear that my nickname would have to be tabled and I’d use my given first name.  All photos (and posts) with this watermark are copyrighted and are my property.  The same rules that apply to all photos watermarked with Real Food Girl: Unmodified apply to KaceyCooks photos as well.
