  Reblogging is a core feature of WordPress.com, and a way for bloggers to share posts they found to be interesting with their readers.

  Please note that the reblogs always link back to the original post.

  The only way to prevent a reblog would be to make your blog Private via Settings -> Reading in your blog’s Dashboard.

  thank you – usually I never felt harmed with it it, something like that never happened before to me and my friends – but there is someone misbehaving ….

  I see a fair amount of original content posts with just 3 reblogs, so I wouldn’t call the “misbehaving,” just someone sharing photos that he liked (which are properly attributed to you and your blog) with his readers.

  Yes, thank you so far – I had set my own article to privacy to put it away there until some clearance.

  up to today, the blogmaster has written another posting to that Item and some excuses, so for now, everything turned out ok.

  btw. I think, it is hard to refer and communicate about a problem like this to WordPress support on websites, which are not in English ….
  I guess, you noticed.

  So, I hope this will be helpfull for the future.

  thx, macmanx.
