Dear Porcelian Doll, if that is indeed your real name, I appreciate the fact that you like my blog so much that you are reblogging almost all of my posts… but I am a little confused by the fact that when I click on the link to your blog, WordPress seems to think that you don’t exist…

 I am not quite sure of what to make of this situation. Someone calling themselves;  theporceliandoll.wordpress.com  , who has what looks like a real link to a real blog, is reposting almost every one of my posts over the last week or so. Now, normally, being the shameless attention slut that I am, I am tickled to have people reblog my stuff. I know that many of you consider it to be common courtesy to ask permission before reblogging stuff, but I usually don’t care if people share me around… (see, that just sounds sexy to me)…

But I went to pay the doll a visit, you know, just to see if maybe it was a new blogger and their entire blog was just a bunch of my posts… not that that would bother me either, you understand… and WordPress says they can’t find a blog under that name.

The really funny thing is that this doll person doesn’t even seem to be all that picky about which of my posts they reblog. I can see wanting to share some of my more clever posts… because I am funny and amazing and all that… but reposting the one I did this morning where I just asked where everybody is and then filled the post box with like ten lines of nothing but question marks… that seems a little weird… ***(Author’s note- that post wasn’t meant as a poll or a census, I was just whining about how low my stats are this week, but I totally appreciate all you people who took the time to tell me where you live, or what you were doing when you saw the post… I love you, man)***

Anyway, Doll, leave a comment on this post. I am not mad or upset or anything. I am just curious. Also, there might be some technical issues if you do have a blog, and even though I am a computer moron, I have a lot of smart followers who might be able to help with that.

    She reblogged mine as well. Same thing …

    It’s possible that they signed up for gravatar and gavatar reserved the wordpress name for them and they can comment with it but haven’t set up an official site yet. I did that with Gravatar once by accident.

  3. I am in the same situation. I noticed right away that her link is misspelled. As porcelian instead of porcelain. I think it is a mistake since for the first year I was writing my blog my link was misspelled. U Didn’t realize it until someone pointed it out to me.

    I guess you’re just taking over the world one blog at a time.

    In other words – the mysteries of the internet are deep and unknowable. Perhaps it is a pen name for God?

  6. Was she at least acknowledging that the posts are yours, and not something she wrote herself?

    Oh wait, you have no way to find out because you can’t find her blog, right?

    Personally, I get annoyed at bloggers whose entire blog consists only of re-blogs of other peoples blog posts (did I use the word “blog” enough?).
