Yes, we appear to be getting spam posts. No, I can’t tell how it is happening. Yes, I’ve upgraded to the latest stable version of wordpress. No it doesn’t appear to be solving the issue. Yes, I’ve mailed wordpress security email address (twice). No, they haven’t responded.
and that is all folks.

I read your comment. I apologize for “stealing” bandwidth. I copy over alot of photos from everywhere and post a ton of my own when putting together my blog. I look at it more as a compliment than theft. Take care. Cassi
Thanks Cassi – if it were one photo on one place I might look at it as a compliment, but when I’m reading through my stats and the list of pictures hit by referrals from other sites is as long as my arm, it feels more like abuse. Yours was by no means the only use of a picture from my site that I tracked down just today.
Nightmare. Hope you work it out soon. Spam posts seem far worse than spam comments somehow.
Yes, I’d agree with that. And happening so soon after the credit card incident, it made me very nervous.
Jax, do you have blog by email set up for you blog? The posts looked very much like spam email. What I thought when I saw it first was whether you had blog by email set up and someone had managed to spam that ‘secret’ email address? It automatically publishes anything received in that account. Just a thought.
I get shedloads of spam through in comments on my blog – currently 130-odd need spamming – really must get a spam blocker sorted.
Already disabled it Chris as the same thought occurred to me.
what a bugger jax. hope it gets sorted. looking forward to seeing you at kessie. i am sorry but i tagged you and Tim
ah yes, i had to search, and i found small – a bit odd someone using your photo?
don’t know why, but that photo is very popular. Another one I found being used (today) is the shot of Nick Stokes with a moustache? Can’t say as I understand it.
i have no idea how to look and see if any of mine used. would be easy to do from flickr
How Helen? Flickr doesn’t have trackbacks for individual photos, does it. I think it is a real oversight. You should be able to see any specific pages linked to an individual photo.
no, i mean it wuld be easy for someone else to use my flickr photos, not that i can track back
Ah yes, which is why they should have trackbacks.
Well boo and hiss. Did you ever figure out what happened?
Need support for your home ed journey? Looking for tutoring for your young person? Have an idea for a collaboration? I’d love to hear from you!
After 20+ years of home educating my four children (two now adults), I’ve gathered a wealth of experience that I’m passionate about sharing. Beyond blogging and guest writing, I offer several services designed to support families on their home education journey.
I’ve put together a collection of resources that I’ve genuinely found useful over the years—things that have actually made a difference in our home education. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to freshen things up, there’s something here to help. These are the tools, guides, and materials I’d recommend to a friend, because they work.
