  Hi,

  I seem to be getting lots of obviously bogus “New User Registrations” to my blog. Stated names don’t match the email entered in any way, and all are hotmail.com accounts.

  I can’t seem to get the right combination of widgets to stop this.
  No obvious damage, but I just don’t like it on understand why.

  Thanks,
  -Gray

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  That’s not a WordPress.COM issue. You are posting to the wrong support forum.

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate, have different log-ins and run different versions of themes with same names. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.

  OK, then.

  Confusing, but thank you for the redirection.
  I appreciate the help.
