  Hi dominiccolose,

  Did someone gain access to your WordPress account and delete your blog posts? Or did you suspect someone gained access to your WordPress account ?

  I recommend giving these support page a read about security and password.

  Security: https://en.support.wordpress.com/security/
  Password: https://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/
  Selecting a strong password: http://support.wordpress.com/selecting-a-strong-password/

  Adding an extra layer of security with two-step authentication helps as well to keep your WordPress account secure: https://en.support.wordpress.com/security/two-step-authentication/

  Hope that helps and let me know if you have any other questions.

  Thank you, I’m changing my password and adding the 2-step log in. Nothing has been deleted, but I’m suddenly getting a lot of spam referrals.
  I’m not computer savy, so I appreciate the help.
