1. Emailed Blogger.
2. Read this.
3. Used a free Copyright button. It looks awful. Anyone out there with a copy of Photoshop and some skills to make something that looks better?
4. Do what blogger said I have to do… I guess this will happen instead of sleep, making the kids’ lunches, cleaning the house, or finishing the changes to my third draft and getting informal committee feedback before setting a defense date? Argh.
5. Appeal to thems in the know for advice and guidance.

First off, it is a great pleasure to speak with a fellow New Orleanian. Though I’ve been doing this for years, I think you’re the first person from the city I’ve met.
I’m sorry to hear about your problem and I want to help if I can. I read your posts on the subject and it appears you’ve already gotten in touch with Blogger about the issue and they’ve sent you a request for a DMCA notice.
If you need any help with that, I have templates on my site in the stock letters section. I’ll email you the full DMCA notice if you’d like.
Google is a tremendous pain with these matters. What you’ll have to do is either fax or mail your notice in. However, there is a way around it. If you scan a copy of your signature, you can send the complaint via email. What I do is embed it in the notice and create a PDF file from it. Some have said you can just put it in the email too, but I haven’t tried that yet.
Once you do that, email it to amac at google dot com and it should get to them.
Let me know if I can help in any way. Anything for a fellow New Orleanian.
