I'm not sure if it's wrong but on my blogs I often use a paragraph from a site if it pertains to the subject of my blog. I always add a link and give credit to the site where I got the info. Saying "Click on this link for more".

Then again, I often get info from Wikipedia and refer back there.

I do blogs on subjects that interest me, but I can't know everything about those subjects so I spend a lot of time researching them.

I don't think it violates any copyright laws as long as you're not using the whole article and you are giving credit where credit is due.

Most web sites want the extra traffic that the links bring them, and most webmasters, I would think, would enjoy the fact that someone likes their work well enough to let others know about it.

Am I wrong?
