This was passed on by the amazing Lys of Just Anotha Gal who tipped me off that people may be scraping my feeds and profiting off them by re-posting them on their own blog, and charging advertising fees for it.
Bastards.
By the way, if you’re reading this and it’s not through a Reader, it is STOLEN CONTENT. Yea. Take that.
Anyway, in the process of trying to figure out how to put the screws to them, I figured out how to do cool footer notes (up to 500 characters) that will show up at the end of every one of your RSS Feeds.
It’s the coolest thing!
1. Click on Settings
3. Type whatever you want in the footer!
Now I can change up the text if I wanted, add in that I’m running contests.. or whatever, whenever I want.
Hee hee!
I’m giving it a try!! Thank you!
Okay, I’m going to try this!
Any time everyone!
Wendy: Yes. It will show up on other blogs that scrape the feed, the same way an RSS Reader “scrapes” the feed to aggregate all the info.
That is cool. Thanks for sharing!
There is a WordPress Plugin for this too, here.
I’ve had problems with people stealing my content. So if I put a footer on, that would show up in their fake “blog”?
great idea, i’m going to add that my site. thanks!
