Referrer spam has recently become a huge problem for blogs. Not only does it clog up your referrer lists, but it puts a significant load on the server and has increased our bandwidth usage by something like 50%.
Later today I'll be installing referrer filters right across mu.nu. I've been filtering Ambient Irony for the past few days without any problems. Now, it might happen that someone might not be able to follow a link from an oddly named web site to your blog. If you hear of this happening, it's the filters. Let me know what the linking site is, and I can adjust the filters to fix that.
You (and your readers) will always be able to access your blogs from a bookmark or by typing the URL straight into the browser; this only affects links from other sites.
