  I recently noticed that someone is posting blogs to my wordpress website blog. To my knowledge, I did not give anyone else permission to do this, HOWEVER I remember reading a tip that suggested joining some website that will push me a lot of traffic, backlinks, etc. and I may have given them my info not thinking about it, just trusting the source. The are posting items related to my blog (construction) but I do not want others to be able to access my website. Is this common? Any idea what I can do to stop it? Thanks in advance. Jim Holt

  We need a link to the blog and to a place where this has happened (post or page).

  the first thing you see regarding “Find out concrete patio design…” is NOT one of my posts. There were already 2 more put on there by someone but I went in admin and deleted them.
  Thank you so much!

  jimiholt1, you don’t seem to have a blog at WordPress.com.

  Jim, my suggestion is to change your password in wordpress immediately so that they cannot post. Make the password very strong.

  Also, since that is a self-hosted blog, you need to seek help for it over at http://wordpress.ORG/support/ which is where self-hosted blogs are supported.
