  I got a new follower today and the message says fatspecialist blogs at Linda’s Stellar Stitches. That is MY blog, not his. Have I been hijacked? Why would this person be able to blog at my site or have a message that says they do blog at my site?

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

  Hi there,

  Thanks for getting in touch! We’ve been digging in to this user and will be taking the appropriate steps with him or her.

  It doesn’t look like there is anything going on which would indicate that they have in any way taken over your site, however! You should be good in that arena.

  Sorry you’ve been having to deal with this, however again I do appreciate you reaching out!

  Thanks. Yes, it doesn’t appear that there’s anything untoward going on at my site, but when someone likes or follows my blog, I always check them out and this freaked me out a little. Thanks for checking it out.

  I completely understand, and interestingly enough when I started looking in to it, I discovered that “fatspecialist” was a regular “liker” of my own blog. It definitely raised my interest!

  Thanks again for reaching out. I appreciate it!
