   So,

   I'm sure I can't be the only one frustrated to see blogs duplicating all of my posts automatically via the wp-o-matic plugin.

   Is there anything I can do to block them?

   Thanks,
   Cary

   One way is by using plugin like http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-feed-copyright/ as well as setting feeds to show excerpts not full article. While wp-o-matic is free and up to 2.6 only, there are other premium plugins which sploggers use that are just plain irritating.

   I really hate the idea of going back to partial feeds, but I also hate chasing these guys down.

   I suppose I could give it a try and see how it effects things on my blog.

   Thanks for the plugin suggestion. I'm not sure it would stop anyone from the stealing, but at least I'd get a link back. Hmmm.

   Also check out a very recent post I just read about stopping scrappers/spammers for extra measure :-)

   I say whatever works :-)
