  Hi. I’ve been advised to install login lockdown to prevent bruteforce attack. I was told this was under ‘Settings’ but I can’t find it. I’ve just changed my password to a strong password.
  Would appreciate some advice.

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

  That is advice that applies ONLY to WordPress.ORG installs.
  It does NOT apply to your free hosted WordPress.COM blog http://annefriston.wordpress.com/
