It appears that my WordPress blog has been hacked. I am experiencing the same thing as this person (http://wordpress.org/support/topic/300394). You might be able to witness this yourself by checking my site -- http://creolened.com/ -- and looking under the Bloggy Friends section. This section should actually not be showing up as the links under it are currently set to not display, but lo, Casino Online shows up, no matter what I do.

I have looked over the proposed solutions, which are not specific to this hack but just general advice on what to do if your blog has been hacked. I am wondering if there is a more direct way to attack this because I'm otherwise inclined to just export my blog data, nuke the site and start over.

It appears I may have fixed this, but please check the site just in case! If things are working correctly, there will be no 'Bloggy Friends' section showing in the righthand column.

All this feedback is overwhelming me!

:P

Anyway, it looks like the problem has indeed been fixed. Carry on.

Just saw this for the first time. The bloggy friends section is not showing for me, so you're all good.

Yeah, I am being a bit over-eager on getting feedback.

Thanks for checking!

He's like this in the short story forum too.

Site looks fine, so sign of any casino ads. I still cannot stand those blog topic index things that just show keywords, sized according to how frequently they show up in your posts. A list of recent posts will suffice (and is there, so yay!).

Hey now!

Thanks for checking, though. And yes, tag lists by default always supersize the ones that are used the most. I may see if there's a way to adjust that. I am actually contemplating a new theme for my site, so I will likely be re-jiggering things, anyway.

EDIT: Found a tag widget that lets you specify tag sizes, among other things. The SUPER GIANT tags are now gone!
