No, they aren't. They're using made-up names, which proves their blatant and nefarious intent. Most of OUR posts (mine and Cindi's) seem to be coming up under the name "Slightly Off Quilter". I do not blog under any kind of pseudonym; I use my real name, and so does Cindi.
If it was a blog aggregator, that would be one thing. (A blog aggregator is a site that gathers blog posts from all over the net into one place, such as Quilterblogs.com.) But blog aggregators do not change anything about the posts, including the name of the blogger, and they also link back to the original content.

Ah, but there
are ads; you must be using an ad blocker of some kind. I can't see them either when I use my laptop, but my smartphone has no adblocking software, and the site is full of ads.
Tartan - you are correct; the first thing I did was truncate our posts. And I'm so glad I've been copyrighting our photos.... a smart reader will see our blog address in every single photo and wonder why she's finding them on an unrelated site with a completely different address....
