How to report Sites that copy your Blog Content

The great post below shows you how to inform Google to investigate a web site that is scraping your blog and posting it in its entirety.

It's on old blog but the access method still works (basically find an ad on the sleazy site and click the "AdChoices" link generally in the lower left corner).

Sites that copy your blog content:

http://export contacts . blogspot. com/ - Especially egregious. No contact info whatsoever on this ad laden site that's geared for users to 'accidentally' click ads.

UPDATE 4/11/2012 - Google has taken the site down. Thanks Google!
UPDATE 4/12/2012 - The site is back up. There's now an email address which I emailed. Bounced back. Everything about this site is sleazy.

What are the others?

When do Blogger Stats Reset?

Blogger stats reset according to UTC.

What is UTC?

Since radio signals can cross multiple time zones and the international date line, some worldwide standard for time and date is needed. This standard is coordinated universal time, abbreviated UTC. This was formerly known as Greenwich mean time (GMT). Other terms used to refer to it include "Zulu time" (after the "Z" often used after UTC times), "universal time," and "world time." (Source: http://www.dxing.com/utcgmt.htm)

Stats will reset at 0:00 UTC. It is now:



This is a 24 hour clock.

How to Add a Line in your Blog

Copy this code and place in your HTML code (in Blogger, that's the tab that say's "Edit HTML' not the one that you are probably in right now that says "Compose"):

 <div style="border-bottom: 1px red solid; margin-left: 25%; width: 50%;">
 </div>

How do I Access the Free Website in GoDaddy?

I always lose where that is, so am documenting the steps here:

1. login to godaddy.com
2. click accounts in upper right corner
3. click my products (left rail)
4. Manage domain
5. under related products: click manage beside website tonight
6. click launch

GoDaddy moves this around so search for "website tonight", or try here: http://app5.websitetonight.com/WST.aspx

Easy Way to Keep HTML in Blog from Executing

Here's how to keep code from executing in your blog post when you are trying to show what the code looks like (rather than have it execute):

Instead of the left pointing caret, put this: & l t ; (put all 4 characters with no spaces) to produce: <
Instead of the right pointing caret, put this: & g t ; (put all 4 characters with no spaces) to product: >
EXAMPLE:

To produce this:

<form action="/search" method="get">
<input name="q" type="text"/>

<input value="Search" type="submit"/>

</form>

I typed this (although this is a picture here):

123456789012345678901234567890123456789

39 personal characters allowed in Blogger Post URL

When creating a title for your Blogger post, only the first 39 characters will appear in the URL. Blogger may remove words like "and" and "the" as well.

Testing!
