    Hi there,

    That post was posted to your blog using the Post by Email feature. Anyone who knows your post by email address can post to your blog that way, so it’s very important to keep that email address secret.

    To fix this, you can either change your post by email address or remove it completely (to disable the post by email feature). You can do that from your blog’s dashboard here:

    Please let me know if I can do anything more to help with that.

    Thank you for the help! I had no idea someone could post to the blog via an email feature! I have disabled the email post feature! Thank you!
