Hi there,
also I cannot log into my account and work on the blog.
The fact that you are able to post here in the forums means you are already logged into your account.
How exactly are you trying to edit your blog and what happens when you try?
there is a message that says that people can change the content of the blog
That is not what that message says, and no one can change the content of your site unless they are logged into your WordPress.com account.
What that warning says is that someone could intercept the information from your site as it is being sent to a visitor’s browser, and change it to show different information to that person that what is actually on your site. Your site itself is not changed in any way, only the information a visitor sees is changed.
In this case that warning is overly alarmist, though – your site is secure and properly loading over https. But you have specific resources on the site that are loading over http, causing this warning which is also called a “Mixed Content” warning.
In this case, it’s the image in your About Me widget – you have the Gravatar link in that widget added using an http link instead of a https link. Update that link to use HTTPS, and the warning should go away, though it might take a few hours for it to happen.

I am also suddenly having a problem with my site showing up as unsecured. But it is happening on fox and chrome. Someone at ipage told me I need to change it to https from http but I never changed anything to begin with so don’t know why/who changed something to cause this problem nor do I know where to make this change. It is very frustrating that you pay for hosting and all that and then changes are made and no one tells you how to make it right.

Hi drteresaschenck,
Your site uses WordPress.org software with iPage:
Please contact iPage for more help with SSL certificates as they are set up at a server level.
The WordPress.org support forums will be the best place to post if you have more questions after speaking to them:

Best of luck!
