The leeches are out in force 24 Apr 2008 Have a look at the title bar at the top of this page. If it doesn’t say “Scienceblogs” or “Evolving Thoughts”, then you are reading it via a leech site that does nothing but steal the words I and other carefully craft, like this one. Now in my case while my blog is Creative Commons licensed so others can reuse the material, they mustn’t change it, or claim it as their own, or fail to give attribution to me. Leech sites give a strong impression they are the ones who produced the material, but really all they’re doing is using the feeds and reformatting it. If you find them, let me know in the comments. Thanks Administrative

There’s a special sort of immortality for those who work in paleontology which clearly outweighs the total lack of jobs and remuneration: having a species named after you. My friend and accredited geologist and paleontologist has now had a trilobite named after him. Ladies… Read More
You need to write to the team over at blogger. They HATE stuff like this, and are very happy to bring it down. Unfortunately, having a couple people flag it isn’t going to do any good. They’ll take a look, see that there is content, and assume it’s ok. You need to tell someone WHY it shouldn’t be there.
You probably want to nofollow your link, there. Otherwise you’re helping the splog out quite a bit. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nofollow)
