  Had no trouble at all until today when I cannot get onto http://www.wordpress.com from the address bar or any of my blogs eg http://www.savehaygatefields.wordpress.com. I’ve not been altering any settings at all in Firefox. No installed an update. I’ve just cleared the cache. But to no effect. What is happening? I can get the site on my iPhone.

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

  In order to help you we need to know your specific computing environment details. Please work through what follows and report back.

  1. If you are not running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/ please try upgrading or switching first.

  2. If you are using an IE browser in compatibility mode please disable that mode. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1196-internet-explorer-compatibility-view-turn-off.html

  3. If you are running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/

  (a) Try clearing your browser’s cache http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=32050

  If applicable see here for instructions on how to clear the cache for Chrome and Safari on the iPad:

  http://browsers.about.com/od/howtousemobilebrowser1/ss/How-To-Clear-Browsing-Data-In-Chrome-For-Ipad_6.htm

  (b) Make sure that you have both third-party cookies enabled and JavaScript enabled

  (c) Disable all browser extensions or add-ons temporarily.

  (d) Try enabling HTTPS: http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/

  Add both *.wordpress.com and *.wp.com to your list of trusted sites under the Security tab. Make sure to uncheck the box for “Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone.” http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/#frequently-asked-questions

  4. Try using another browser.

  5. If you are not successful let us know:
  (a) Exactly what kind of device you are using to connect to the internet and to WordPress.com.
  (b) Exactly which browser (and version of it) you’re using by checking here if necessary http://www.whatbrowser.org/
  (c) And what any error reports you receive state.

  P.S. For clarity though it’s has nothing to do with your issue there is no antiquainted character wasting “www” in any wordpress.com URL. All “www” URLs redirect to the correct one which in your case ishttp://savehaygatefields.wordpress.com/
