  Amid the daily design changes to my blog, there now appears to be no button in the admin bar to let me log out !!! Surely a massive security flaw?

  Make sure you aren’t running a browser add-on like Ghostery by temporarily disabling it and all add-ons like it, and then also temporarily disable private incognito browsing.

  Go to https://wordpress.com/ and click your Gravatar first, then look next to your username in the left sidebar to locate the sign-out link.

  Brilliant deduction, timethief! The shortcut has reappeared. I installed Ghostery last week because I’m so annoyed by the data-gathering that surrounds most online activity today. Thanks.

  Apparently Adblock may be a culprit too. Glad to help. :)

  I’ve been a big fan of Adblock Plus for years and have forgotten what an eyesore many websites can be without it! :)

  When I visit sites while answering questions here I want to see exactly what the site is displaying. I stopped running all adblockers awhile back as I do not click ads ever and I never browse incognito.

  Understood. Each to their own.
