  The information in my account is not available to everyone is it?
  I entered http://whateverthename.etc – it came up but I was able to click on my account without logging in and got the info in the back area. Whoa! what did I do wrong? that shouldn’t be available. Help!

  If you set your blog up to be private then it is private. And if it isn’t then you need to change the settings to make it so-> Options -> Privacy
  Privacy Options
  Blog visibility:
  ___I would like my blog to appear in search engines like Google and Sphere, and in public listings around WordPress.com.
  ___I would like to block search engines, but allow normal visitors
  ___I would like my blog to be visible only to users I choose
  Click update options to save.
  You can also password protect the whole blog. http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/05/07/can-i-password-protect-my-whole-blog/

  If you checked the “Remember Me” box on the login, wordpress set a cookie, so you don’t have to login again until you clear your cookies out.

  If you can see the blue bar along the top of WP.com blogs and the forum, you’re logged in and you can see everything. You’ll need to specifically log out to see your blog the way other people do.
