  Blog works beautifully, but It displays unwanted and unrelated links in post and page text.

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

  Continuing on from my comment. I have just noticed that in dashboard view at the bottom of the tags list on the left hand side, the word “menu” underlined has appeared, this also links to another site. Has anyone else come across this and how do I fix it, it really does mess up my blog.

  Hi there,

  We do occasionally run ads in order to keep free services free. However ads of the nature you describe are not permitted in our advertiser’s network.

  I did not see that ad when visiting the site. If you do see an offensive ad again, please make a screenshot and attach it to a reply to this message. We take this very seriously.

  Here’s how to make a screenshot:

  Please note that it’s possible for ads to appear in your browser that were not placed there by WordPress.com. These ads are sometimes caused by malware or a virus, but more often it is due to a browser extension or toolbar that you may have installed in your browser.

  These sites have further explanation and suggestions for eliminating the ads:

  I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any further questions.

  Best,
