    Hi,
    I keep getting a message whenever I try posting something that says my certificate is invalid for this website. It lists the following as the certificate holder: Go Daddy Class 2. The message says I may be logging onto an invalid site.
    Friends who have tried to log onto my blog from facebook get a similar message saying that leonarddurso.com is a invalid address and redirects them to wordpress. I’ve checked my domain information and I have checked leonarddurso.com as my primary domain. Everything seems in order there.
    What is happening? How can this be fixed?

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

    HI there,

    That is actually very standard behavior and is a bit misguided (sorry about the scare!). Please note that only you and other registered users of the blog will see it when logged in.

    When you connect to your Dashboard over an HTTPS connection, we use an SSL certificate to encrypt your connection. SSL certificates need to be signed to a specific domain, and we can’t provide certificates for every mapped domain, so our certificate is signed for WordPress.com.

    When you connect to your Dashboard via your own domain but your security software sees a certificate signed to http://wordpress.com/ it’s altering you that WordPress.com may be intercepting your connection, which of course is perfectly fine.

    To prevent your readers running into this in their browsers, just make sure that whenever you provide a link to your blog or post it anywhere, that you post it as http:// and not https://.
