  Hello community,

  Somehow a post from my blog got aggregated onto a self-hosted wordpress site that I find racist/offensive. I would like it removed from their site. There is no contact info for me to contact them directly. I assume it was aggregated because I never received an alert saying that the post was reblogged or anything. My wordpress user name is also included as the author so it looks like I posted it on their site. Which I absolutely did not. Does anyone know of any way to get that post removed from their site?

  Thanks for any info.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Thanks for the info. Not looking forward to this at all. If my username is included on their site as if i am an author, does that mean that they aggregated me somehow or just reblogged me without me getting a notification? Is there something I can do on my end to prevent this sort of thing in the future?
