  I have a post showing up as an incoming link in my stats. The site is “Love Your Family, Another WordPress Weblog”. However, the URL for the site shows no association with WordPress, cannot be navigated, etc. It does show me as the poster at the top with my blog name, but it is the entire post including pictures. Could someone explain this since I am still rather new at this. Thanks RR.

  Here is the URL for my post on another site: http://www.famlove.cn/?p=44303
  My site is: rr1997dr.wordpress.com

  I am just wondering why my post is on another website

  Ah- I see. Your post has been “stolen”, and used on another website that is not yours?

  So is there some way to prevent this and take care of the stolen one?

  You have been credited for the post – very subtly at the top, but they should have asked, of course. It is a scraper site http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scraper_site
  and should be reported.

  Thanks, do I report it to “support”? And is there some way to block sites like this?

  I think most of us have learned to live with it, and having links to you, improves your ranking, so there are some positives in it all …
