    One of my followers emailed me, because they have acsess to my blogs stats and dasboard. when they clicked the link to read my blog, it looked different and they said it was logged in under my name!

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

    It’s an Admin link that only you as Admin and any editors you have can see when you are logged in. It’s for your convenience and your visitors cannot see it. You cannot remove it as it’s coded into the theme templates and we cannot edit templates or themes.

    Also note there will be autofilled information in a contact form or a comment box but your information is visible to you when you are logged in and have not cleared your browser cache and cookies. No one else can see it.

    When someone makes a comment on your blog, unless they have cleared their cookies, WordPress.com will recognize them and complete the details for them. No one else will be able to view those details in comment boxes or in contact forms. The next person who comments will see blank fields. Commenters will not see each others details.

    Prove this to yourself by logging out and clearing your browser cache.Then visit the site as any visitor would without logging in. http://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache
