  All of a sudden I’m getting a lot of weird, strange and bizarre comments to my blog.
  I think the site has been hacked…..

  It’s getting through my Askimet filter.

  Very frustrating….. and a bit creepy as well.

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

  Hi there,

  Please don’t worry — your site hasn’t been hacked. If you’re getting spam comments, please be sure to mark them as spam. That will train Akismet to recognize similar comments as spam in the future.

  If you continue to have trouble with this, please send me an example of a spam comments that made it through Akismet and I can take a closer a look at it for you.
