Great idea. Unfortunately they do not have checks and balances to figure out the author of an external blog is the same author posting her content on the Steemit. Any ideas on how to prevent this?

The only thing I can suggest is for contributors to create a post on their blog or page on their website and at the end of every post include the link to it. If the person is well-known, doing an intro and posting a picture in #introduceyourself holding a steemit sign with the date is great. We won't usually forget they've "verified." For those who are a little lesser known, I suggest posting a public facebook post or twitter tweet and linking it at the bottom of their posts.
It's not a really good solution, but the only one we have at the moment.
Many times a person will "verify" the content belongs to them one time in the comments section of a post somewhere. I spend a lot of time reading back over posts to try to find if the content belongs to the person posting it.
Great question!
