  In the last week, I’ve noticed a few strange blog posts that popped up automatically on one of my blogs. It looks like it is just “word garble”

  Subject headline is “!$title$!”.

  We’ve since deleted the blog post. But, I’ve noticed a the exact same things on these blogs below

  Can anyone tell me why this is happening?

  I think it has something to do with pingbacks, tracbacks, etc. But some of that stuff is beyone me.

  Please help.

  Thanks,

  I have no explanation, but in any case I would report these blogs using the Report Spam button on your Admin Bar (under Blog Info in top right corner).

  I would contact support and ask them. Since it is happening on more than one blog (and more than one account), something is fishy.

  This is a results of a test post from the WordPress for iPhone application. Version 1.0 was creating a test post for use with previews. This is resolved in version 1.1. You can safely delete the post.
