  Hello!

  A blog I’m a writer on, pihastudio.fi (hosted on wp.com), has started receiving strange german comments ever since i started as a writer. The site is in finnish and the articles very doubtably are of interest to anyone other than people living in Finland. The comments in german started at almost the same time as i started as a writer. I have not seen the comments but my boss (I work at a gardening/landscaping company), who is also the head editor of pihastudio.fi tells me she receives quite a bit of them, now that I’m a writer. What’s going on?

  Also: Some time ago, i tried to ask whether or not it is possible to have two images with captions align side-by-side in a blog entry. My questions went unanswered as i was uncertain whether or not i’m allowed to discuss blog matters of my company publicly and thus, was not able to provide a blog url. Now that you know that the blog is wp.com hosted, I’d like an answer, thank you.

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

  More information:

  The messages our blog receives contain positive feedback and praises and an inquiry concerning the theme that we use on our blog. The same kind of messages are received both in finnish and in german.

  Thanks in advance.

  Those comments are spam.

  It’s possible to have two images side by side, but it’s not easy. They CLAIM you make one aligned left and one aligned right, but it never seems to work for me. The best way I’ve found is to put them in a table.

  Thank you for the reply!

  I’ll just tell my boss to ignore the comments and will start doing so myself as well.

  The image alignment thing is a true pain in the neck. Would also help to have a post editor that is adjusted according to the blog’s width so that you’d see what you are actually doing while editing.

  Nevertheless wp.com is free so not much room for complaints. Gotta keep runnin’…

  Thanks again.
