  Hi all

  Sorry if this has been covered before, but I couldn’t find anything by searching…

  During the last week, my blog has suddenly received loads and loads of subscribers. I’m getting around 4 or 5 emails a day saying people have subscribed to my posts. Some of the usernames sound distinctly dodgy, too… is this some sort of spam?

  I suppose it doesn’t really bother me, but is it something I should worry about, or look into further?

  Thanks

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

  Thanks. Any updates on this? I’m getting more and more… over 5 per day, every day…
