  I received this email from GMAIL (twice) this morning:

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

  We have noticed that the host name of your site, https://acrossthebored.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.

  So what is this all about now? That readers will receive as “suspicious site” pop-up window when they visit and won’t be able to navigate through my site? Doesn’t having my domain name registered with wordpress guarantee that this type of thing won’t occur? Am I missing something? Can this be resolved ASAP? Thanks in advance for your help…
