Blogjacking: Hand over your
password and move away from your terminal! by Austin Luna aka nukemdomis
Earlier after adding some content
to A Creative Desktop I was over at Technorati viewing my account and doing a
few blogging related searches when I noticed that someone else had claimed my
blog here at writingup.com!
I have been trying to claim my writingup blog with Technorati for quite some
time now. Every single attempt resulted in a "sorry there was an error" message.
When I dug a little deeper I noticed this dude with his picture next to all my
writingup.com blog entries. Here, look at this link to Technorati so you can see
exactly what I'm saying.
dude that is claiming my blog entries are his
The guy in the pictures is not me! What in the world is going on here? Is this a
mistake on his part or am I just misunderstanding something about the way
Technorati works? I have decided to only post here at writingup until I get the
full story about this situation.
If you have taken the time to read this post and you have any type of feedback
on this I would greatly appreciate your opinion.

UPDATE: Okay so it's been a few days since the initial posting of this article

Then I tried calling the telephone number that was on their website only to get
an answering machine. Today is Sunday so I don't expect them to answer the phone
anyway. What can I say it's my only day off this week. I left them a quick
message and I'm sure they'll return the call.
As far as trying to contact the blogjacker I have sent 2 emails so far with no
response.
Anyone that can help can get in contact with me at my creative site
Attention readers I should have more information on the outcome of this
challenge that your reading about. Any future updates will be found inside the
