Colleen, I'm so glad it's not only me who has been thinking there's something awfully weird going on with blogger's links!
Some of my blog posts were linked to completely unrelated posts and when I tried to create a proper link it wouldn't (I thought I was doing something wrong!). And when I look at the strange links under so of the blogposts, well, I've been wondering!
What's happening is that those of us who have our bloglist showing the latest posts are getting listed as someone who has linked to the post. I've got people visiting my blog from blogs that don't link to me, so I was wondering too, but I finally figured it out.
On the plus side, we probably all rise in the search engines' algorithms.

Do we all need to report it to blogger?
