    Hello. I just got an email and I am not sure whether it is from WordPress or not. Here it is:
    ———————————
    WordPress.com Please verify your email address.
    Action required:
    Please verify your email address.
    Dear *my name*,

    We noticed that you need to verify your email address. All you need to do is click the button below (it only takes a few seconds). You won’t be asked to log in to your WordPress.com account – we’re simply verifying ownership of this email address.

    Verify your email address

    If you don’t verify your email address, we’re required to temporarily put your website on hold until verification is complete.*

    Thanks for being a WordPress.com customer.

    Sincerely,
    WordPress.com

    I pressed the Verify Email button but it took me to a page that gave an error. Should I worry?

    Thanks,
