  Today I am on my blog to do some housekeeping and to do further checks from yesterday when I prepared quite a few new posts, some scheduled and some drafts. For the first time ever, I received the message below (I use Firefox when connected to WordPress, currently version 26.0). When looking at my Scheduled posts, I noticed that some of the dates had been changed, which I corrected.

  I was Previewing some posts (for example: https://jmnartsy.wordpress.com/2014/01/21/embark/?preview=true) (in the same tab), and this is what was said:

  QUOTE This Connection is Untrusted

  You have asked Firefox to connect securely to jmnartsy.com, but we can’t confirm that your connection is secure.

  Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are going to the right place. However, this site’s identity can’t be verified.
  What Should I Do?

  If you usually connect to this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn’t continue.

  jmnartsy.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is only valid for the following names: *.wordpress.com , wordpress.com (Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)

  If you understand what’s going on, you can tell Firefox to start trusting this site’s identification. Even if you trust the site, this error could mean that someone is tampering with your connection.

  Don’t add an exception unless you know there’s a good reason why this site doesn’t use trusted identification. UNQUOTE

  These days, when signing in, I have to input a verification code I receive on my mobile phone. Today was no exception.

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

  PS: I’ve just clicked onto the post link mentioned above, and it opens to that post. I suppose anyone who is signed in can see that and also press the Edit button for that post. Perhaps you could unlink it for me please!!

  My login password is saved. It is for jmnartsy.wordpress.com in https mode. I have not received that message again when previewing Draft posts in a new tab. I must assume, then, that all is now well in that regard. Thanks, someone!
