  I received this message from Google:

  “Site host name, https://dcwhyte.com, does not match your SSL certificate Subject Name

  We have noticed that the host name of your site, https://dcwhyte.com, does not match any of the “Subject Names” in your SSL certificate, which were:

  *.wordpress.com
  wordpress.com
  As a result, many web browsers will block users from accessing your site, or display a security warning message when your site is accessed.

  Recommended action
  To correct this problem, please get a new SSL certificate by a Certificate Authority (CA) with a “Subject Name” or “Subject Alternative DNS Names” that matches your host name.”

  How do I get a new SSL certificate and where do I find a Certificate Authority?

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