Logging into my dashboard this morning I discovered that Technorati had pinged my site and some unscrupulous scraper had since then picked up and absorbed my recent blog posts. Blog scraping is a serious problem, opening my site and content up to spamming and copyright issues. I obviously don’t want persons or businesses profiting off my personal thoughts and labor. I’ve started nailing down trackbacks and pingbacks in the WordPress database by following the instructions at the following site. It’s useful to note that I don’t have phpMyAdmin; I simply used the mySQL console window to enter the update statements.
