^. Yes. Just because you give credit or a HT, doesn't mean you aren't infringing. Just like a teacher can't legally photocopy a recent novel for in class use, even if a different teacher handed her the book and said, "This is my copy of a novel by Dan Brown, but I don't care if you copy it." and even if you include the title and copyright notice in your photocopy.

I'm not a blogger, but I'd be mad too if I had spent time compiling a list and other people started re-posting it without my permission.
