Stolen text content Question. - GoFuckYourself.com

A year ago I wrote some blog entries for a friend's blog and then discontinued after a month. (My entries were the only ones on the blog. I wasn't working for him or anything. My ref codes and all. Just wanted to practice blogging, and he let me.) So now I finally got around to starting my own blog and I decided to use the old entries I made for the other blog. That blog I posted on last year is actually down now, but you can still find them on a regular web page strangely. That's when I decided to grab them and use them until I run out.

I've only made three entries so far. I started on the 9th, then made one on the 10th and again yesterday. Should I delete them? Because I totall forgot you can get banned from stolen content. It was mine though, and I didn't think anything of it until I just read this article. Yes, I know I should have known better. I did actually edit the posts a little. Will that matter? I tried doing "link:www.____.com" in google and it's not showing my site. But then again, it's a brand new blog.

Bump.

ps: It is now showing up in google. I think that as long as I edit the entries a little I'll be okay?
