  I found out that someone is using my name, Worthy Widow, and my posts as stepping stones for their website. I don’t know what to do. Are my written posts protected by my agreement with WordPress?

  Site in question: https://www.worthywidow.com/

  When I first started my blog, I checked to see what a Google search would yield on ‘worthy widow’. I got nada on that exact wording. Now this butter pecan* keeps showing up. I feel so violated.

  * butter pecan = substituted for a curse word

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

  Ack. Apologies. I didn’t look close enough before sending that reply. Thanks for following up.

  So, that site is registered through Tucows by SquareSpace. It is hosted through CloudFlare. You’ll want to follow up with the hosting provider on their policies in this situation.
