  I received an email today supposed from WordPress saying that a new user has been added to my blog. I have not authorized anyone else to be a user on my blog and when I go into my account and check the Users I am the only one shown there. Does anyone know what might be going on here? I am right to be concerned about it? Any help would be appreciated.

  You are in the wrong forum and need to be over at WordPress.org. Differences explained here:

  For one thing, we don’t have the option for users to add themselves to our blogs. Those usually turn out to be spammers, but I’ve yet to figure out what they can do with User status.

  If alpacalady is talking about http://alpacalady.wordpress.com/ then it is a wordpress.com blog and she should contact support: http://wordpress.com/contact-support/

  alpacalady, if you want to receive help quickly on this forum you should think about mentioning the link to your wordpress.com blog in your post, or maybe insert it in your forum profile.
