    Hello
    I am moving over to dot org with my wordpress site DoinDubai and I really like the social icons at the end of the post I assume using Jetpack can I get the same presentation in the dot org site with Jetpack as at the moment I still have the tiny boxes whilst I am working on its creation to go live soon. I have jetpack installed and updated and have connected the twitter etc

    Many thanks

    Hi Monica,

    Unfortunately, we at WordPress.com wouldn’t be able to help you with this. However, at the end of the day the social icons are just images. You should be able to link those images to your respective sites.

    You can also look through their plugins and see if theres one that you like:

    You can find support for your self-hosted WordPress site here:

    Good luck!

    GRACE PLEASE HELP ASAP

    everytime I try and access a post on our doindubai.com blog I am getting this is probably not the site you are looking for, security violation ssl, I have changed my go daddy pw and my wordpress password, why is this happening? I can get into the site but I get this very scary message when I try to access a post so obviously when I don’t pursue the post, I am guessing everyone else will also get this message, please sort out or tell me what to do, thanks Monica

    tell me what to do??

    Anxiously awaiting your reply.

    Hi Monica,

    That is actually very standard behavior and is a bit misguided (sorry about the scare!). Please note that only you and other registered users of the blog will see it when logged in.

    When you connect to your Dashboard over an HTTPS connection, we use an SSL certificate to encrypt your connection. SSL certificates need to be signed to a specific domain, and we can’t provide certificates for every mapped domain, so our certificate is signed for WordPress.com.

    When you connect to your Dashboard via your own domain but your security software sees a certificate signed to http://wordpress.com/ it’s altering you that WordPress.com may be intercepting your connection, which of course is perfectly fine.

    To prevent your readers running into this in their browsers, just make sure that whenever you provide a link to your blog or post it anywhere, that you post it as http://doindubai.wordpress.com/ and not https://doindubai.wordpress.com/.
