    My blog (www.aauwmi.org/blog/) is being redirected to other search homepages. How do I resolve this? Is it a virus? Has someone commandeered my blog???

    I can't see any obvious signs of a hack on your Home page. Nor was I re-directed to any other sites. However, you do need to stop pasting content into your posts from MS Word. The pasted text also contains Word's own formatting. Sooner or later, this formatting will stop your pages from being displayed correctly (if at all) in Internet Explorer. If you cannot possibly manage without Word, paste your text into NotePad (or another text editor) first, then copy from NotePad into WordPress.

    Or use the inbuilt Paste from Word option in the Visual Editor. Or Windows LiveWriter.

    Thank you for the that tip on ms word. I reloaded my blog after running a full virus scan on my computer. It seems to have corrected the problem. However, I still need to update to WP 2.9.2v. Having trouble with getting the newer version updated.
