  I cannot find any info in forums or support that answer this question. Has wordpress.com patched the hole called the Heartbleed Bug, and as such, is it safe now for me to change my password? And would you please be more public and clear with this information? Thanks!

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

  Thank you!

  And as a little friendly feedback, I think folks like myself wouldn’t have freaked out so much had WordPress.com issued this statement a lot sooner. It felt to me, and from the sounds of things to a lot of people, like WordPress.com wasn’t taking the situation that seriously, which is in stark contrast to my past experience with you all. At times like this, you just need to assume it will be a trust issue and go overboard with the info dissemination.

  In any case, we got there now. Thanks again!
