Does anyone know what this bit of code means? It automatically showed up on my tumblr blogs in an anchor tag.

Oh that's great. But will the backlink still count?

I tried to backlink from another tumblr account and it comes up as the same thing. Maybe I should just use another blogging platform instead of tumblr? I'm using others now, but what a waste! Annoying as hell!
