    it might be inevitable if you post your work online but its not your fault, especially if this is a some what popular and respectable design blog. if they wanted to remain legally legitimate, if they want to retain creative legitimacy as a design publication, they MUST cite you as the creator of a work. My suggestion is to contact them and request you get a little mention for the fact that you would appreciate the exposure and that they really should be citing everybody's work anyway. If they were a large publication you could make it a legal issue. A personal blog that happens to be popular just needs a straight forward and firm heads up about what you would like and what would be the respectable thing to do.

    • attribution is necessary for their use of your work to remain 'fair use' otherwise it is technically infringementuuuuuu
    • it also is supposed to be transformative and unqiue so posting full copies is not legituuuuuu
    • *uniqueuuuuuu
    • they might not actually realize that without attribution its not properly legal so tell them so and see what their response is.uuuuuu
    • 'They must' in the internet is debatable. Anyone can set up a blog these days, if you don't make it easy to find you, it's not on them (me thinks)Miguex
    • entirely on them.Miguex
    • LEGALLY its copyright infringement. the law of the web is bullshit, not reality.uuuuuu
