Just now I Googled my name and got the following: About 14,300 results (0.54 seconds). I scrolled through a bunch of pages with citations that I recognize, but then I came to one that stopped me--some art group in Australia listing all kinds of links for me and my work, as though I were a member. Now I have to find out what this is about. Well, looks as though checking from time to time is useful. But I'm not about to go through the 14,300 results!MirkaKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12227929679685790140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7570512522741409033.post-54774772567511575102021-05-11T12:54:25.118-07:002021-05-11T12:54:25.118-07:00I do this every few months and have found some ple...I do this every few months and have found some pleasant surprises: a mention of my article about James Houston in a bibliography of a book about him, a temporary reappearance of an ezine that had published some of my poetry...<br /><br />It's important to know what the web is saying about you and your books (or articles or poems.)Barbara Etlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07190731838738606727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7570512522741409033.post-80980478601189735522021-05-11T08:09:05.714-07:002021-05-11T08:09:05.714-07:00I'm almost positive I'm the only Kelly Has...I'm almost positive I'm the only Kelly Hashway that comes up in Google, and since I grew up with a very common name, that's surprising to me.

I also randomly saw one of my pictures used without attribution from an editor. I asked her to give credit or take it down. She chose the latter.
