  I clicked onto a link from a blogger that started following my blog. When i was on his blog he had a poll going, but what really concerned me was that he had my PRIVATE email address that is only in the API settings page where it states email for notifications only. How did he get my private email address?? Anyone got any ideas on how I fix this?

  Thanks,

  When you register an account you provide an email address which becomes your unique identifier at WordPress.com. When you leave comments or when you subscribe to have comments emailed to you you provide that same email address.

  If you wish you can get an email address and use it strictly for your blog and change your existing email address to it. http://en.support.wordpress.com/email-address/#issues-changing-your-e-mail-address
