I actually saw this post in a forum called nairaland, then I copied and pasted the source code of only the site seen there. I thought I read from the steemit rules that one can copy paste any news and add the source code to it.
Not true. That is why that @cheetah bot keeps commenting on your posts. I left some guideline in one of your posts, check it out and see.

I will try and look up some good posts on how to use other people's works. And get them to you.
