  I googled myself and discovered a blog which I know nothing about for which I am apparently an author (!) and which also stole content from my blog.

  The site is:
  http://dewarqrt.wordpress.com/2012/08/07/author-bio-gayle-pescud/

  THIS IS NOT MY BIO–I DID NOT CREATE THIS OR GIVE PERMISSION FOR IT TO BE CREATED.

  I ALSO GAVE NO APPROVAL FOR MY CONTENT TO BE USED ON THIS SITE.

  There is no contact information. I would appreciate it if you could ask the own to remove my details–Gayle Pescud and all Ghana related content–or shut their blog down altogether. Or tell me how to do it.

  Please let me know the outcome of this.

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

  Report the blog to the Terms of service group

  That’s a shame, I’m worried about that happening to me eventually

  Worrying is a useless activity. If it’s on the internet it can and probably will be stolen. Please see here:

  P.S. Also note that we only post into support forum threads, if we have issues we need assistance with or, if we have the correct answers to resolve the issues that others post.
