Doesn't it matter that we're writing on a platform like blogger and not on our own domain ? Why do some authors warn on their sites that it's necessary to indicate the source or ask for his/her own permission, if one wants to reproduce also only part of their work ?

Balqis, copyright is an automatic right, you don't need to say anything to have it protected. Some people do to emphasize that or because they think that have to say it for the work to be protected.
It doesn't matter that you are posting your work on someone else's website, the work is still protected as long as the terms of use of that service don't say otherwise. For example, by editing Wikipedia you agree to have your work copied by others for any purpose. Blogger is not the same.
Some people make notices on their website saying that you have to ask for their permission to copy ANYTHING WHATSOEVER from their website. This doesn't mean that you can't, because the law allows you to copy in certain situations in accordance with the permitted uses of copyright. It doesn't matter that the author said otherwise.
