  Not sure what to make of this one.

  This is my first blog on wp, and it’s a pretty new blog.

  Someone posted a comment to a blog post, the author name was set to the title of the following blog post, (“Zucchini Apple and Carrot Loaf | around the raspberry bush”) and the comment consisted of code designed to resemble a link to the page on which the comment was submitted to:

  […] ← Apple Raisin Open Pie […]

  the link to the page on which the comment was submitted is: http://aroundtheraspberrybush.wordpress.com/2013/08/31/apple-raisin-open-pie/

  Anyone have any thoughts?

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

  The code just formatted to appear as the text, trying again:

  […] ← Apple Raisin Open  Pie […]

  That’s just a pingback, indicating someone has linked to you:

  It isn’t spam or malicious, but if you want to turn pingbacks off, you can do so.

  Hahaha, gotcha! thanks for the quick reply.

  Live and learn I guess.

  You don’t have to worry about injection attempts here; the code they use is automatically removed.
