Posts being stolen :(

Hey everyone~ I just found out from the lovely Em that my posts are being stolen by another person. It's shocking for me that anyone would do such a thing, especially when they're straight out copying and pasting my posts (including my name at the end of each post)! As I watermark my photos, I'm not too worried about that - actually, if this weren't so serious it'd be funny since the blog name is Cool Nail Art Designs (*ahem* not Polish Infatuated). Unfortunately what the person is doing is totally UNCOOL.

If any one has any idea on how to deal with this, please let me know! I have no way to contact the person since the contact tab doesn't have a link to anything so any help will be extremely appreciated!

Thanks :)
~Sharon

ps. I wonder if this will be copied too..? ><

    Oh my god why oh why do people do things like this??!!
    It happened to me, very recently too and I contacted Blogger about it. I clicked on the report abuse button on the blog which stole my work and then filled out a form and sent it off. Blogger have yet to get back to me, but it was only yesterday that I sent off the complain so I guess I'l just have to wait. 
    Good luck with getting it all sorted out =]

    It's not personal, its spam. All you can do is report the blog to the hosting provider and they should take it down.

    Yeah, I've heard about that button. The blog didn't have it though so I had to directly contact the google team about it. Thankfully they're really fast and the problem is solved now!:^^
