Photo stealing, content theft, RSS scrapers, people hacking into your blog – we have heard about it all, but have you ever thought your entire blog could even be claimed by someone else?
But that is exactly what had happened to Ramkarthic some time ago at MyBlogLog. Someone else had claimed Ramkarthik’s blog back in August of last year and I remember freaking out about it! Talk about dishonesty on the net. Ramkarthik was able to get the blog ownership back but I can imagine how he might have felt at the time.
So if you have an account with MyBlogLog but hardly ever log in the service, at least now you should go there and claim your blog, just like I am doing right now. There are a couple of methods to claim your blog, either by Undergoing MyBlogLog Verification by writing a post about it or by adding a Meta Tag to your website.
And God forbid, if you are the one whose blog has been claimed by someone else, go here to find out how you can get it back.

@Mig – I’d think verifying blog ownership wouldn’t be difficult but its one of those types of nuisances that you wouldn’t want to ever experience!
@Ginger – yeah, insane is the word! why do people steal? why do shoplifters shoplift? :) Its in some people’s nature I guess!
