Summary: In all fairness, this could be a problem with the plugins I'm using and not WordPress, but it's still a problem nonetheless.…I did a few quick Google searches and ran across a promising (future) blog platform going by the name [link] Ghost.…Anybody else have a suggestion for something that's real NOW and like [link] Ghost?

Summary: Thankfully, I am using a version control system on most of the site files & it is relatively simple to correct any files that are maliciously modified…If you are having the same issue, I highly recommend you look in to using Git or some other system to be able to compare the history of your source files.
