    Two days ago i got an email from wordpress, that I have subscribed to my own blog posts and that I shall receive a notification every time the new post appears. Contacted the wordpress staff to verify the situation, as my email appears on the subscribers to the blog list. There are no notifications about new posts coming to when I am posting in my blog either. Got no response from the staff.. I am wondering what is that . I am afraid that my account could have been compromised

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

    Obviously you are going to be nervous about security breaches, but I wouldn’t worry to much. Anyone who knows your email address can subscribe you to your own (or any other) blog.

    The curiosity of this thing that I NEVER have subscribed to my own blog, i.e. never performed such an action. I got a message while posting, that I have subscribed to my own blog with my own email address. Logically,I should get a new notification every time I post on my blog. That is not happening either. That is why it looks strange to me and that is why it makes me worry about security of the account.

    Have you contacted Staff? Here’s the link http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/ After you use the searchbox, under the search results, at the bottom of the page there will be a section that says “Have you found the answer to your question?” You can choose either “Yes I found the answer to my question.” or “No I didn’t find the answer to my question and I would like to contact support for help.” The no option will reveal the contact form.
