I took a look at the blog on your site at http://blog.thecoffeebump.com/ and I don't see any links to other blog posts, at least not immediately. Rewriting is probably not a good thing to do. I guess it depends on what you mean. Passing off news and information is OK, if you're writing it fresh, etc. and citing your source and not simply moving words around and rewriting certain words from the article. People share information, the important thing is that it be genuine writing, not just you copying what someone else said and changing it just enough not to be caught. I would focus on writing good posts from your own thought or heart. I hope that this helps. Thanks, Patrick Hello The Coffee Bump,

This is not for the purpose of being slimy, but it is to create an authority website that other people can use for information, while linking back to the original post. Is this something you have an issue with? I agree with aspiring to be the best, but I also rewrite blog posts and link back to the original post.
