1.Find out the hosting of the blog.
2. Write an email to the support with original url and his url ( specifically of few posts)

It’s good for your readers (reference links), good for SEO (for those pages), and when your site is RSS sucked like this, those links will still be pointing to your site. ** The catch is for those links to be full absolute links (including your domain name), not relative links – otherwise they’ll be relative on whatever site they end up on.
