So, fixes may have been made, which no longer allow the particular code you used. @ tony conrad -Thanks for clearing up the purpose of the feature. It may not have been the fact that other (sometimes unrelated) blogs were shown, but that it was automatically added to the blogs and didn't allow full control of what sites were shown. The feature does have a lot of possibilities for many bloggers, as they will possibly be able to get some active readers/visitors from the related posts, blogs that they normally wouldn't have discovered. @ George – Because you are on the .com/free version of WordPress, I believe that it is much easier for them to release updates or changes, which typically benefits the community.

We've included content from your archives, from other WordPress.com blogs and for Mainstream Media sites (MSM). Like any technology, we're making lots (and lots) of tweaks on the fly to get the filters properly tuned. While subjective, we've been successful in making these tweaks on a large number of partner sites (www.sphere.com) so I'm hopeful (with a little patience and goodwill), we'll make improvements as we go along. In the meantime, you're input is really critical for us to make those improvements, so please keep sending. Tony Hi all – very active conversation – :)

This seemed to allow the best of both worlds - part of a linking community, but not getting responsibility for things I didn't post. Today that bit of CSS code doesn't work. Oh well.
