If this were one of my articles, I would contact the person who posted the article and tell them that you are insisting that they remove the plagarised content or that they can credit you as a source for the article. She has caused you financial harm.
You own your words, she is not protected under "fair use" because her content is not for educational purposes, it is for finanancial gain. Her page contains Google ads so it qualifies as a commercial entity. She is making money on every page view. Explain to her that you and your attorney would like to see a financial statement detailing her revenue from this page. Your post provided more than half of her page content, therefore you are entitiled to at least 60% of her generated revenue from the page.
Wish you well, this is just my opinion.

But eh, that's the risk you run when you become a member of ANY message board, or post ANYTHING anywhere online. When I see it being done, I try to call the guilty party out on it tactfully. I'll ask for credit where credit is due, and a link back to my site, or have it completely taken down if they cannot comply with that request.
Most people ARE simply just ignorant about internet copyright laws and plagiarism in general; its sad but true. At least this post brings to light a very serious topic that those with older homeschoolers might consider turning into a lesson!
I keep telling myself that imitation is the most sincere form of flattery...and keep posting away, despite the risks, lol.

Judge for yourself, and be careful what you post here.
