  This morning, I received about 15 e-mails from WordPress. These notified me of various comments that were posted on my Blog throughout the night. The comments are odd, and do not even make sense for the post they were commenting on. I think it was some sort of spam, and I did not accept any of the comments. I just want to make sure there is no virus or something going on on my page? Thank you.

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