 * At the top of my WP dashboard I have this message highlighted in yellow: “An 
   automated WordPress update has failed to complete – please attempt the update
   again now.”
 * Every time that I click on the link it tells me that I have nothing to update.
   But the message will not go away, it’s been 3-4 days.

 * It’s possible that the automated update failed at some point. I recommend doing
   a manual upgrade, even if it says you’re up to date.

 * I will try that, thank you.
 * Is this possibly why I cannot leave comments on other WP blogs when normally 
   I have no issues with that?

 * If by “leave comments”, you mean actually complete the comment form on another
   site, it’s got nothing to do with it. Perhaps your comments have just been held
   for moderation?

 * That’s the thing, these are blogs which I comment on several times a week and
   I’m automatically approved for commenting.
 * One blog did give me a pop up message saying that it thought I was a spam bot.
   I do not leave spam messages, my blog is about personal development so my blog
   itself is not spammy. I don’t understand what’s going on.

 * The error message went away after I deactived a plugin. So that problem is solved!
