  Hi,
  Every time I access my blog I get a popup window in firefox with the below warning:

  “This Connection is Untrusted

  You have asked Firefox to connect securely to reconstructingeconomics.com, but we can’t confirm that your connection is secure.

  Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are going to the right place. However, this site’s identity can’t be verified.
  What Should I Do?

  If you usually connect to this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn’t continue.”

  I’ve only recently registered the reconstructingeconomics domain name and never had this problem with wordpress before.

  I’m using windows 8.1 with firefox 29.0.1

  Regards,
  Warwick Smith

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

  Hi there. You are actually completely safe, despite that warning. The following link will explain what you’re experiencing and why it’s happening (starting with “How do I get those annoying security warnings to go away?”):

  Notice at the bottom of the page, it will show you how to manage that certifcate warning in Firefox.

  If you have any questions about this at all, please do let me know. Thanks very much.
