They still rank fairly well for my key words. Happily I still out rank them from every one I looked up.

I was working on a WP notification plugin that would email you every time something was added or changed to your blog, but shelved it. Set up the google site: alerts - you'll be notified as soon as google sees the links, and you have time to remove them before a penalty is applied. Hey Joe –

Apparently, there is a vulnerability in the ability for a new user to register and the newest version of WordPress (2.7). I was able to learn about the problem and find help through <a href="http://wordpress.org/support/topic/227867" rel="nofollow">this WordPress forum thread</a>.On a slightly related note, Eric Blackwell <a href="http://www.bloodhoundrealty.com/BloodhoundBlog/?p=3252" rel="nofollow">mentioned</a> you might have a OBL checker plugin. Have you put something together on this Eric? I mentioned this in Eric Blackwell’s Bloodhound blog entry yesterday that my blog was hacked several weeks ago.
