403 Forbidden

    I cannot access my site on my laptop or desktop. I can access wordpress.com and the other site I edit but I can’t access the dashboard of dalesadler.net. I have reset my modem and cleared my history. This is the error message I receive: You don’t have permission to access / on this server.
    Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
    Apache Server at dalesadler.net Port 80

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there,

    It looks like dalesadler.net is not actually hosted here with us at WordPress.com. Instead it is a self-hosted WordPress.org site (the difference between the two may seem small but it’s important: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ ).

    While there isn’t much I can do to help with a WordPress.org site, I can tell you that if you’re having problems with the site you can try reaching out to your hosts to see if there’s anything they can do (I just did a quick lookup online and your hosts appear to be GoDaddy.com). If they can’t help, you may want to try checking out WordPress.org’s support site and forums which are available right here:

    Best of luck to you!

    I found out that through the “You might also like” function of Shareaholic that I was getting links to spammy type sites, keeping me and who knows else from getting to my site.
