It seems like you’re still affected by spam. According to a spam comment I’ve got after visiting your blog, the problem is your theme folder.

I can send a screenshot if you want one.

Ouch, that sounds like a nightmare. I’ve never heard about hacked themes before, how does that work? Googling only serves me the friendly versions of hacking your WordPress theme to customize it. How do you hack a footer.php? If you want reply through other channels I completely understand ;)

Huh… you know that explains it… I did a search for “Deep Jive Interests” the other day on Google via the iPod Touch (haven’t set up the bookmarks yet) and noticed your site wasn’t showing up.

Paranoia… okay, time to upgrade my blog…
