  A reader says he is getting a message that this site has security problems. It just started, he’s been a long time reader. Any suggestions?

  Can you ask what the exact warning says and what URL they are at when they see it?

  Here is what he told me:

  I was using IE and http://www.blnnews.com to connect.

  The following messages come up on the screen:

  There is a problem with this website’s security certificate.

  The Security Certificate presented by this website was issued for a different website address.

  Security Certificate problem may indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data you send to the server.

  Could you ask them to take a look at this page:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/#manage-in-internet-explorer

  In general, it is nothing to worry about on WordPress.com, despite the fact that it seems odd.
