You can prevent people from copying your blog setting by using a index.html file. The most common way people copy your blog settings is by copying your theme and using the same plugins.
This is also important for blog flippers for protecting their blog. People usually see your theme and find out how you have customized the theme and try to clone your blog in a similar fashion.
How to protect your blog settings?
Create a blank index.html file and upload it to your blog folders. You can also create a blank index.html file from your cpanel. If you find it a bit confusing you can try this method.
Open notepad
Add the following code
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Save it as index.html
Where to upload the index.html file ?
I have uploaded my index.html file in the following directories
wp-content/uploads/2009/index.html
wp-content/uploads/2009/index.html
wp-content/themes/index.html
wp-content/plugins/index.html
images/index.html
What this does is people will not be able to see what plugins you are using or what theme you are using etc.
