Hi, @krissy-b!

Also, there're several other websites with the same content, e.g.: http://bemorewithless.com/the-story-of-the-mexican-fisherman/ (Courtney Carver claims to be an author)
If you want to share a news story, simply link to the source, and include your original commentary, and possibly small quotes from source. Copy paste is discouraged by the community, and may result in action from the cheetah bot.
Hi. I am the author of Bicycles and Berries, please let me know how you would like me to confirm that. I have taken this post from my personal blog to share on this platform. Also, I have not made any claims to have written the story of the Mexican fisherman, that story has been in circulation for some time now. I did write my take on the story/commentary. Thanks for your feedback and concerns.

The easiest would be to edit your blog and add somewhere that you are on steemit.
In order to prevent identity theft we like to encourage users that have an online identity, post for a website or blog, and celebrities of all notoriety to verify themselves. Verified users tend to receive a better reception from the community.
Verification can be as simple as posting to your website or blog. If you use twitter or facebook, you can also create a tweet or post there. For our easily recognizable Steemians, a photo with you holding a piece of paper with the time & date will suffice.
Thank You! ☙
