  At the top left nav bar, click on the blog title. A drop down menu should open. Look for Report Content. From there you’ll be given an option to report plagiarism.

  Be very specific with your complaint, include links to the offending post as well as your original post.

  You can also report content theft directly to WordPress here:

  That doesn’t work on this blog. They have somehow disabled it so there is no drop down at all.

  The blog is now set to Private but that won’t stop staff from checking this out. Even private blogs are not allowed to break the law.
