  I keep getting emails stating new registered users on my wordpress.com account. I do not understand what is going on. I set up the account to be able to learn wordpress but have not been blogging on it.

  Can you tell me what is going on? Do I need to stop it? Catherine

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

  Please do not post emails on these public forums. They will be removed: no one here answers questions via email: all volunteers answer questions in public forums. Posting emails will violate your privacy and expose yourself or other folks to unwanted spam.

  The site you are asking about does not seem to be hosted on WordPress.COM so you need to make friends over at WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you are using.

  This site is for support of sites hosted on WordPress.COM. You should address your questions to WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you are using: http://wordpress.org/support/

  http://www.ccqual.com/ is a self-hosted site using wordpress.ORG software.

  @Catherine,
  Please read this:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
  then head over to
  http://wordpress.org/

  Volunteers in these wp.COM forums cannot help you. Our wp.COM is very different from your wp.ORG.

  Oh, ok. As is evident – I am not knowledgeable about any of this so that is why I am asking for help.
  I will go to .org as auxclass recommended.
