  Hi all, is anyone else getting spam with a full name, and a personal comment of how much they liked your post but when you hover over it, it’s a link to a video “how to hypnotize someone?” i.e. name shows “David Ayala” nice message “I found your post very helpful” and then the link/email address is flikr, Yahoo, or something else leading to strange video/website. Akismet let a few through and I just approved them remotely. Now that I’m back on full screen mode, I see that the names are different but the link is the same.

  Is this advanced spam? What’s with the full, highly-probable names and comments appearing? Am I just a new fool?

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