"Trusted Certificate"
-
I need a “Trusted Certificate” for my blog. Everyone says firefox and some other, is reporting that I am “Unverified/Untrusted Source”. Please help. I know absolutely nothing about computers. Thank you.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The certificate error you describe can happen when you load the https:// version of your URL. Is that the case here?
-
Yes it is the case because I tried it and I got this:
brittius.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)

The same is also happening re: the https:// login for my personal blog

Strange enough is that it’s not happening on my blogging tips blog

@timethief it does happen to both your sites over here. Have you tested it in a different browser?
@brittius This is normal behaviour 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.
Please let us know if you have any more questions!

Thank you all, for the information. I happen to be computer illiterate, and that is the reason why my kids talked me into blogging, so that I could learn how to use a PC. Normally, I need to wait for my kids or grandchildren to visit. The little ones really know how to use “the little” mouse.
I went on to GoDaddy.com for the SSL. It was a bit vague, as there is only a place for my name, and not the blog which is a .com, so I am reluctant as both GoDaddy.com, and intuit.com, I have had problems where something was not clearly stated up front but I paid for something and never received the services. I will need to find someone to eventually go over things for me. I cannot even post widgets on the page and only get the slashed-out circle emblem. I had wanted to post a copyright notice. So, if I purchase the service where the site is monitored, I cannot even get the notice posted, or anything else.
In any event, thank you, everyone, for the helping hand.
Sincerely yours,
Brittius.com
