  I received an email notification this afternoon that a post had been made on my old blog (which I no longer use). The post was this: http://phasesofthenoon.wordpress.com/2012/06/18/frommadam-zarya-diloem/

  (I have made it private, so perhaps you can’t see it?)

  How did this get posted on my blog? I have never given my password to anyone.

  Actually, I just went and returned the post to a public post.

  Also, I was in a hurry, and didn’t proof-read, so apologies for the typo in the subject line. :-)
