Blogger's little Bot is telling me it suspects my blog might be Spam.
Until a human can have a look it's making me enter Word Verification every time I edit something or post (until Tuesday I s'pose).
So where are the tell-tale signs of Spam on my blog I'm wondering?
How can you tell?

Hello,Nothing as to why but a quick scan of other blogs suggest either images and links were the key thing alerting the algorithm (but I'll never really know, OR that someone 'alerted' them :{
Your blog has been reviewed, verified, and cleared for regular use so that it will no longer appear as potential spam. If you sign out of Blogger and sign back in again, you should be able to post as normal. Thanks for your patience, and we apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

tesco.com has made something of how accessible it is — and with good reason, it is the best UK Supermarket website.
It's competitors have quite rightly been criticised for their lack of effort (although, tesco.com's last redesign and how it happened caused negative changes to it's accessibility according to some experts).
But what is the point of creating an 'accessible' website if people can't buy anything? This is the case for up to ten million British people with basic bank accounts.
BBC Radio Four's MoneyBox reports [ Listen to this item (RealAudio) ] that several years after first alerting Tesco, they are still refusing to accept payments using Visa's Electron card.
Back in 2005, the program reported that due to the Halifax's decision to switch basic bank account customers to Electron, they could no longer use it with a host of retailers such as Boots, M&S, B&Q, Argos - and Tesco. (Sainsbury + Asda do take Electron).
The Halifax's response was that 'as only 20,000 Cardcash customers regularly shop online, it does not consider this to be a huge problem'.
The Government is encouraging, and in some cases forcing, people to open basic bank accounts.Said one daughter of her housebound mother, "it robs her of her independence".So we have people who are doing exactly what the Government wants:
Here's your chance to do something — contact Tesco and tell them to start accepting Electron (they could do this TODAY).

John, I'm with you on the fear that big organizations, however well intentioned, will ultimately abuse the trust placed in them. Since your clickstream, search history, credit record, phone calls and emails all traverse corporate - or government-controlled - networks, they're vulnerable.

Hacker faces US justice after extradition appeal fails
· Cyber-terrorism charges could lead to life in prison
· Judges express distaste for American handling of case

The Guardian
The British computer hacker who spectacularly cracked the Pentagon system and embarrassed the American defence establishment now faces extradition to the United States, where a prosecutor has said he would like to see him "fry".
<>
The judges said in their ruling that they were unhappy with the US handling of the case: "We make no secret of the fact that we view with a degree of distaste the way in which the American authorities are alleged to have approached the plea bargain negotiations."
McKinnon has admitted in many public statements to unauthorised access of computer systems in the United States including those mentioned in the United States indictment. He claims his motivation, drawn from a statement made before the Washington Press Club on May 9, 2001 by a group of high level ex-military and civilian sources known as "The Disclosure Project", was to find evidence of UFOs, antigravity technology, and the government suppression of "Free Energy", all of which he claims to have proven through his actions.[7]In his interview with the BBC he also claimed that "The Disclosure Project" says there is "extra-terrestrial and origin and [they've] captured spacecraft and reverse engineered it." He also claimed to have downloaded a low-resolution image of "something not man-made" and "cigar shaped" floating above the northern hemisphere. He said that unfortunately he did not manage to get a screenshot or recording of the image because he was "bedazzled" to see the image, could not remember the capture function in the software RemotelyAnywhere, and that he was "cut off" from his connection.[8]
Dorset Echo
Council condemned for offensive election notes
By Lynn MorrisCHARITIES have criticised a council for using offensive terms such as "lunatics" and "idiots" in election guidelines.
According to the notes for candidates issued by Bournemouth Borough Council "lunatics and idiots" were disqualified from standing as councillors along with "deaf and dumb persons".
<>
Cllr Ron Whittaker said: "People do often think that councillors are idiots but I have never seen it in print before".
<>
Following enquiries from the Daily Echo, the council has now amended the document.
The deputy returning officer Matthew Pitcher said that the terms were included in error because they are legal terms.
He said people defined in law as "lunatics and idiots" or "deaf and dumb" could still apply to be councillors.
BBC
Matt Pitcher, electoral services officer, said it was a mistake and
that the terms were taken directly from election law dating back to
1766.
"Of course such language is certainly not acceptable today," he added.
"The terminology used as part of our election pack to candidates was
unfortunately taken directly from a piece of election law which dates
from 1766 but is still current today.
