  Hello, when I look at my blog stats it shows that someone has clicked on a URL which is not one I have inserted in any of my posts. It apparently links to a page that doesn’t exist, but I don’t know how it got into the stats and would like to remove it – especially since it cites a supposed post that I am not happy about being associated with – http://driftingon.wordpress.com/2009/01/25/racism-is-alive-and-well-in-new-zealand/
  Can I remove it?

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

  This would be a lot easier to answer if you’d given us a link to YOUR blog.

  At a guess, and I am only guessing because I can’t see your blog, I’d say it’s from Possibly Related Posts, which you can disable on your Appearance->Extras page.

  Sorry! I’m very new to blogging and didn’t realise I should do that. Here’s the link to my blog:
  http://elizabeth0629.wordpress.com/

  Thanks for your suggestion. I’ve checked the box that says ‘Hide related links on this blog’ so I hope that will fix it.

  Thanks again for your help.

  Thanks for the link. Yes, that should fix it. We get a LOT of complaints about that feature.
