For any wordpress users, can anyone tell me how to put a stop to the giant list of sexual links that show up in my wordpress posts after I've published them? A couple times last night I found then in google reader and the blog reader I set up on Facebook.
It's like a long commented list that doesn't display in write view, but displays in HTML view.
What's causing this? Anyone found a way to stop this before? I'll note that my blog is hosted with my web host if that helps.
Thanks.

I believe askimet is actualyl included with default wordpress installations, you simply need to register for a wordpress.com account to get yourself the required key to activate the askimet plugin

MG33, install re-captcha. It's free, fast and incredibly accurate. I used to get about 300 spam a day. Now I get nothing. You can also auto-deny any comments that have 2+ links in them. AND upgrade your WP to 2.7, which has much better spam protection.

what era404 says. upgrade WP, activate akismet and install re-captcha. its pretty much airtight then
