Plagiarism in blog world

Just wanted to simplify 2T's life, by discussing some ground rules on plagiarism. Firstly, I always wonder why is it so much talked or made fun of?
At some point or other, people will think of something that's a repeatition of someone else's previous post, will that be an attempt to plagiarize ?
Is copying someone's idea and rephrasing it plagiarism?
Is copying a post followed by adding your ideas plagiarism?
Is citing someone plagarism?

My anwers: No, No, No, No (Then why should I ever crib?? prolly the 3:00am blues:()

All the above strategies have been adopted and critiqued on numerous occaions by 2t, so just wanted to pen them all down.

I agree. None of that is plagiarism. But if you insist that you were the first one to have ever thought of that, then it might be :)
