Hi Latisha, 

Sorry to hear this happen to you. The guy at the second blog (investment strategy tips) was good about removing my content when I expressed my disapproval. Is that the place that you were mentioning? Let me know and I will send you the latest contact info that I have in private so you can contact them directly.

P.S. please don't block copy & paste! This does nothing to stop malicious scrapers but annoys users such as myself that just want to quote something such as the title for a roundup and are blocked.

LaTisha, here is how to do it step by step:

This is perfect.

 

@Tony, I definitely do care. If they provided a link back and just an excerpt I would be flattered but to scrape the entire post and remove all links goes beyond flattery, that's straight out theft.

 

I also just implemented a copyright with myfreecopyright.com. They include a copyright notice at the bottom of each feed post and give it a time stamp and unique ID.

I installed (C)Feed and Blog Protector which notifies me of scraped content and eliminates the ability to copy and paste from the site. I don't know if blog protector does that for the feed though.

Really? I've always done the target=blank thing…

LaTisha, I understand why you added copy/paste and right click block. To add to Kevin's request, I have one more :) Now I can no longer right click and open new tab/window with your links. For example in your recent roundup, I usually open new tabs for all the articles I have not read and go through them one by one, now I no longer do that. May be you could add target=blank or something like that? But that annoys people too… 

 

Oh and the point of right click is to avoid copying I guess, but I can easily copy via view source from the menu… so not sure the plugin really accomplishes that. It is a step in the right direction, but with full feed and view source enabled they can still easily copy…

I had no idea about that. I guess it's better if you leave the choice as the person can always click back or ctrl-click, right? Thanks for letting us know about this…

I have too, but I read in one of Crystal's post where she asked what reader like/don't like about the blog (I think, it was a while ago), some commentors mentioned that they like that she doesn't have links that opens up new pages… I was bummed because I always had new page, because I like that. Even now I do, but now I know some people don't like that, so I mentioned that…

Funny that the blogspot site has a copyright on his posts..hilarious!

Thanks for posting that site, LaTisha. I get scrapped a lot, but I usually don't have the time to deal with it. At least, this should make it a little easier.

Opening links in new tab:

I saw some people were concerned about not being able to open links in a new tab if right click is blocked. There are several ways to do this, so that should be a problem.

1) Hold down the ctrl button while you left click and it should open in a new tab.

2) Click using the scroll wheel should open links in a new tab.

3) Some browsers allow you to change a setting to always open new windows and links in a new tab. Take a peek and see if yours does.

Pretty much every link I ever click on the internet opens in a new tab. I've been doing this ever since the beginning of Firefox. I use the center scroll wheel to do this as I find it to be the most convenient. My web browsers often take up like 2-3GB of RAM on my computer because I have so many tabs and sites open.
