why is there another blog with the same name as MINE?
-
My blog is galleryofthoughts.wordpress.com – someone just started a blog, hosted by wordpress – galleryofthoughts.com – linked directly via wordpress.com Why and how can this happen? I have had my blog for years!
Blog url: http://galleryofthoughts.wordpress.com/The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Very simple. They registered the domain name and mapped it to their WordPress.com site.
It may be annoying, but unless you’ve trademarked the name, it’s not illegal.

One more thing, if that website is spoofing you or stealing your content, then there is a basis for complaint.

Titles, in fact, cannot be copyrighted; they can only be trademarked. I once did a newsletter for a party company that was airplane themed, and apparently Jet Set party organizers were thinking of suing us over it…right until they talked to a lawyer.
If you use common words in your name, and you don’t have a trademark, you can assume that more than one person has come up with the idea.
