The website which took my post is called “The Luxury Hotels Specials”. I also found my post appearing on Live Journal by a user named koodoo_traveler. As you can see, the post is exactly the same as mine but the posting date is today, May 9th at 5:20pm. The photos are still being hosted on my server so it’s using my bandwidth.

I’m sure there are other bloggers who have their work plagiarized. This is the first something like this happened to me and I not sure what actions I can take. Hopefully someone can give me some advice.

Update on May 11 – My materials on the above mentioned websites have been removed. Thank you for all the advice and support.
