This post is a follow up on my previous post about Tygpress (hosted by Digital Oceans). They continue to scrape my blog as well as others’ blogs. We have lost one blog (maybe two) because of this issue and that makes me very sad.
Fandango created a badge that he kindly allowed other bloggers to use. I am going to be using this badge on all my posts going forward.
Also, check out this post at Renard’s World. He wrote a thoughtful article about this issue with some excellent explanations and suggestions about how to further handle this issue.
I hope you are not affected by this issue, but if you are – know that you aren’t alone and that there is something you can do about it. As for me, I will continue with my posting and and my brand new badge while continuing to explore options to shut down this unethical website.

I used Fan’s badge today along with one Reena made from one of my quotes. I’ll be using his again. Eugenia said when she uses the Firefox browser her work isn’t picked up by Tygpress. Hmmm

I don’t know enough about computers and such to know how one browser is better than the other but worth looking into!

Thanks for this update and links, Irma. Maybe I’ll use this badge as well, although it will confuse readers! Sigh.

You can announce it to your readers that you will be using it. That might cut down on the confusion.

Yes, I agree. If I decide to use it, I’ll have to explain it. I’m thinking about it. Thx.

It was a combined effort – I’m glad to follow those who lead the way towards justice. It is such a relief, though, to know our efforts we not in vain!
