  Hi there, it looks like your blog was compromised (multiple blogs were compromised and had the same post added to them, our team is actively cleaning this up now). I see that you have already deleted the spammy post. I also recommend that you change your password, making sure to create a new strong password, following the instructions here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/#change-your-password
