Thanks. It might be a good idea to amend your post:

Go to the Administration Panels > Design > Extras.

Thank you very much on the how-to! I’m new and wasn’t too thrilled to see these possibly related blogs at the bottom of the page

Wanted to say thank you for the “related posts” information. My wife is a personal trainer and has just started to blog, and noticed that there were these additional links that may have not been suitable for what she was posting. A quick Google search and I landed here, now I’ve got you bookmarked in my favorites when I need additional info on WP. A sincere thanks.

@ emevecita:

Just for clarification, this feature is turned on by default on all WordPress.com blogs only, not all WordPress blogs. There is a difference.

Going to Design -> Extras -> Hide related links should fix it.

Thanks for writing about this and explaining how to turn the “feature” off. I was horrified as soon as I saw this. The most important issue for me being the implication that I selected these links and somehow endorse them. Our blogs should be our own blogs, made as we see fit. It’s worse than an ad, truly insidious, because it usurps the bloggers authorship and lets wordpress act as if they are the author of the blog. I searched out WordPress originally, instead of using blogspot, because I believe in the open source community and generally consider it to be much more ethical. But this is a really thoughtless and unethical development.
