    Re: Show Your Blog

    There are a lot of great blogs here. I will definitely need to find time to read through some of them!

    I currently have two blogs of my own, and am hoping to expand that to other blogs of varying topics. My first blog is for my personal thoughts and posts, and is named after myself: daleyasunaga. The other blog that I host is a food-review blog for local restaurants. It only has a couple of reviews now but I hope to add at least one per week! I named the blog "LocoKineGrindz" so that it suits our islands!

    Everyone is welcomed to read! :P

      My blog seemes to have been cloned!

      http://asmallfrenchtown.blogspot.com/

      Somebody has copied my blog under a slightly different name. Not only that, they've changed a few things around...added some pictures and split a post in two...so far. And the dates make no sense at all...I only finished a story about Maurice the Farmer yesterday, and the cloneblog says it's from May fourth.

      So whatchu think? Am I supposed to think that imitation is the most sincere form of flattery? Laugh? Be concerned? Outraged? Offer them a job as my editor?

      Does this kind of stuff happen all the time, or what? I dunno nuthing, this is my first ever attempt at blogging.

        I would be outraged! Are you sure Blogger didn't do something weird? My first step would be to contact Blogger and see if they can figure out what's going on.

          I'd complain to blogspot. Claim it as a copyright infringement. Move before they claim you as the infringer.

                    Hmmm...it's in english for me....there's a language filter you can adjust for Google. Hit the 'home' link on the left of the page and go to the 'Language Tools' link to the right of the search box then put in your language preference.

                      This kind of content-theft happens all the time, especially (or perhaps exclusively) from sites that generate syndication feeds. The purpose is spam-related. Generally, the stolen content brings Google-searchers to a site that generates ad-clicks, which generates revenue for whoever spent the ten minutes or so it takes to set up the copycat blog (which I have heard Ryan refer to as a "splog," for spam-blog).

                      There's a pretty good ('though poorly-written) explanation here. Or a simpler explanation here.

                      If you've got original content on the web, and if that content is generating syndication feeds, this is going to happen. My feeling about it, at least now, is "whatever." It sucks, but I don't have time to track down every instance of content theft. You might see it differently, and I wouldn't blame you. But if you want to help your own cause, don't LINK to the offending site, as you do above! That only helps the thief's Google-placement.

                        I suspect, from the way I found out about it, that it is someone from another board where I post, rather than a spammer. But I have no idea if they are friend or foe, as it was an anonymous post...but, with the changed dates, I suspect it's not just for play.

                          I think Google (and others) adjust their language depending on what country your IP address is from.

                            Yup...I remembered Susie was in France after I clicked on the link and it came up for me in English.

                              Attention Hawaii bloggers! Homespun Honolulu has started a Hawaii blog carnival that will be posted once a month. I'm looking for anyone who wants to join in and participate! All you need to do is submit your best or favorite post about our home that you want to share with the rest of the world and you're off and running!

                              While my own focus is Honolulu, I couldn't help but want our carnival to bring us all together, and to provide some variety for our carnival attendees! Your post topic can be political, it can be about local business, it can be about food, it can be about flora and fauna... anything you like.

                              There are directions and a few rules and guidelines but I don't think they're unreasonable -- this will keep us free of spam, etc. Just think family-friendly, non-advertisement post and you'll be in good shape! Questions or comments are welcome, either here or privately is fine with me.

                              It can be a lot of work for the host, but they're fun because you get to share everybody's links with the world!

                              The first one goes live on Labor Day. That was by accident. I didn't think about it but I kind of like it -- it's a Labor of love!
                              Aloha,
