  Newbie again. I have added a contact form and, on my computer, I see my information listed in the fields. Are these fields actually blank on other people’s computers? Hey, I panic for a hobby, and I do NOT want my info out there for gawd and everyone to take unfair advantage. Please let me know. Thanks!

  Your information is visible to you because you are logged in. No one else can see it.

  Note someone makes a comment on your blog, the next time they come to your blog, unless they have cleared their cookies, WordPress.com will recognize them and complete the details for them. No one else will be able to view those details in comment boxes or in contact forms. The next person who comments will see blank fields. Commenters will not see each others details.
