I am not an expert if anything is found, I just make sure if a theme is not terribly messy. But, I must admit, we all must learn about this most important part of wordpress blogging. I remember, when I was new to WP, I used to search Google, I used to try every attractive theme – without knowing if it can harm my blog.

Please use an official site to download your Themes. Don’t try to remove the ads, just get rid of the Theme as there may be more evil in there than just what is visible.

Then I noticed an ad for ‘weight loss pills’ in my footer and I can’t find the code to remove it. It’s… coded. Gah. There isn’t any mention of footer links in the css and the footer.php looks like one loooooooong bit of code (in a form I’m unfamiliar with). Could this be where the evil ad culprit lies?

I’m off to search for the answer.

Btw, your blog tips are awesome. Thanks!
