  My blog is being hacked on a daily basis, with someone else posting in my name. I’ve changed my username. I’ve changed my password repeatedly. I recently began using dual authentication, yet the hacking continues.

  Any advice?

  Thank you,
  Richard

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

  Yes, make sure you sign out of WordPress.com after every session and close your browser.

  If you’ve enabled Post by Email http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-by-email/ remove it and for safety’s sake, change your email password.
