Has anyone had their blog "Hijacked"?

I'm new to this forum but I really need help here.

Twice this week I've had my blog (discountdental4u.blogspot.com) experience what I can only describe as being "Hijacked" where a posting I'd made the previous day was removed and replaced by an unwanted advertisement.

Of course, as soon as I discovered this I deleted the advertisement and replaced it with my original posting but I can't have this happen every time I make a new post which occurs 3-4 times a week. The only thing I did to stop this was to block all comments which I've done but I have no idea if it's going to help.

Although I have the name and phone number of the advertiser, I can't simply call them up and demand they stop hijacking my blog because, frankly, I don't know what to accuse them of doing since I don't know what's going on!

Does anyone have any experience with this happening to them and if so, do you have any advice what I can do to remedy the situation?

Have you tried changing your password? It's possible that your blog was hacked; therefore the unwanted blog posts. This might help.

No I have not had anything like that. If you have registered your blog with some third party websites, for ads these kinds of stuff may happen. Double check this.
