  Hello,
  I am trying to find a way to contact a wordpress blog owner who has no contact information available on his blog. Whois searches show nothing for this domain in regards to registration and owner of domain. The blog in question is: http://darkstorm207.wordpress.com/

  This blog has copied original content from my site and placed it on his blog. I am in the process of website cleanup due to the evil Google Panda and must insist that this blog owner remove the copied content. These scraper sites are killing me since Panda came out in April!

  So, how do I go about trying to contact the owner of this wordpress blog?

  I have already emailed wordpress.com support but that has seemed futile due to no response at all from them.

  Thanks you so much for any help you can give me on this.

  Anthony

  Thanks very much guys. Fast response! I’m impressed. WordPress seems like quite a nice community :-) I have a recipe site located here: http://www.spaghettisauceandmeatballs.com and ever since Google Panda came out I am discovering that truckloads of people have been copying my recipes and placing them on their sites as their own. Crazy. I guess those are called scrapers. I am trying to learn how to please the Panda. Not an easy job.

  Peace and Joy! Tony
