  I am having trouble with unwanted reblogging of my blogg annajo7.wordpress.com. The blog http://sushmashinde80.wordpress.com/ has reblogged 3 whole posts from my blog, and from what I understand from many other blogs as well and this blog does not seem to have any own content. I searched the Internet to try to find a solution – maybe turning off the reblogging function – and came across a discussion on the wordpress forum (https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/how-to-disable-reblogging?replies=32), where it was advised to contact the staff if troubles like this occured. I am actually not sure whether I am contacting the staff right now or if I am just posting a question to a forum, because the navigation on the website is quite confusing, but I would like to know, can something be done about this blog which has reblogged 3 whole posts from my blog?

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

  An entire Post is not a Reblog – it is stealing pure and simple – a Reblog limits the text from the original Post to around 100 words or so – follow the advice in the links @1tess gave you above
