More on Bitacle

I may have confused more people than I helped. For our purposes, I suppose the most important thing is to find out if we're there and how to complain.

I went back to Her Bad Mother and backtracked. Emma has offered to answer questions as well.

Here's the link which explains how to search for your blog. An excerpt from the link follows. You may have to click on the link to click on "aggregates". I don't know if it will show up as a link here.

The entire post is worth reading and thanks to Lorelle for the footwork.

Now I have to go pack for San Francisco. 3-1/2 hours to train time. I may actually get there.

Have a great weekend!!

Update: I have no earthly idea why the sizes and colors kept changing below and I don't have time to fix it. With my luck I'd probably zap the blog again.

"To find out if your site has been ripped by bitacle, you could go to
the front site of en.bitacle.org and chase your tail. It can be a long
chase. I recommend you go to the search results in the Aggregates
section for this blog and enter in your own search. Use the name or
most popular keywords used on your blog to see if your blog is listed.
Odd thing is that "Lorelle WordPress" turns up this blog, but "Lorelle
on WordPress" returns a "not found". So you might have to dig to find
if your blog is there.

Once you've found your blog, click on the link and you will see the
most recent post or more in the content area, with ads in and around
the content. In the left sidebar, you will see a running column of all
the post titles from your blog, from the most recent to the oldest
they have scrapped. They have Digg buttons so you can dig your own
post from their site - leading more users to read your content on
bitacle instead of your own site. Below your post, there is a comment
box, so people can ask questions and comment on your article even
though you aren't there to monitor the comments, lending even more
visible evidence that they are using your content as theirs. Screams
splog, doesn't it?

If you are among those with content under abuse on bitacle, go to
Stopbitacleorg and follow one or more of the instructions there to
officially complain, which usually involves an email. The more voices,
the better."
