  It is so strange, my blog is listed as my full name as opposed to just my married name, I am able to be inside both of these blogs, I just have no Dashboard, I have been currently having some “personal” issues of a threatening nature in my life as of recent and I do believe that some individual attempted to compromise my account last night, I noticed that too, but yes, my blog is still posted, all of it.
  Just no Dashboard.
  And Support on extended vacation until Jan 2, 2012
  ugh!
  Thank you

  I would immediately change your password, first.

  Change or Reset Your Password

  If you believe you have other accounts online that could have been “compromised” change the passwords too

  As for your blog: there is still the google cache, if you need to retrieve parts:

  Thank you for all of the above information and resources.
  I have had this blog since December 2010 to current
  Someone had changed my user name from my full name to just my married name and
  it was very confusing too, but I think at this point I have fixed the issue I can now see my
  Dashboard again, after working with it for a while, almost like WordPress kicked in and somehow saved it even though, someone attempting to compromise it.
  Not exactly sure just yet, but I have pulled up my dashboard as of a few seconds ago
  If I have any other issues or problems today, I will be reposting this same question or other’s at that.
  Thank you,
  Good Morning,
  April, GA., USA
