 * Thanks kmessinger…
 * Looks like I have a fresh new opportunity to learn all kinds of new things I 
   didn’t really want to learn. 😉
 * I really appreciate the links — they’ll help me get started wading through the
   issues.

 * That crossed my mind, but I have very few plugins, and tend to only use those
   that are commercial, wildly popular, or sponsored by wordpress.
 * I wonder… could any of the plugins that require access to a wordpress.com account(
   like Akismet or Jetpack) cause this to happen? For example, if wordpress.com 
   allows unwanted ads and I use a plugin that requires I have a wordpress.com account
   then, by the transitive property of geometry, does my self-hosted site get filled
   with unwanted ads?
 * Rather than disabling plugins and seeing if the unwanted ad posts no longer start
   appearing, can I search for any malicious code in the plugins themselves? Perhaps
   by doing a search in the various “edit plugin” screens? Any idea what I’d search
   for?
 * Thanks.
