  I do not want to go public and I should be given that choice not told to… Also why are you stopping my Security from protecting my Log in password when I change it and please don’t say because yours is secure, I get hacked every weekend and even if that is your reason you have no right to stop me from protecting my Blog from attack with my own Security, please explain why you think you have.

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

  I get hacked every weekend

  Who has access to your log-in information and/or email address?

  Did you use the same password for your email account and your blog?

  Are you sharing log-in information with anyone or leaving it where anyone can locate it?

  Are you remaining logged in on your computer so anyone can come along and access your blog through it?

  Please read this please knowing that blogs don’t get hacked when security protocols are followed. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/security/ see also http://en.support.wordpress.com/security/two-step-authentication/

  1. Go to your email program and change the password to a very difficult one because that’s how many hackers gain access to email accounts and to blogs.

  2. Change the password on your WordPress.com username account to a very difficult one. http://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/#change-your-password

  3. Register a new blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/ Be sure your blog password to a very difficult one > http://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/#change-your-password

  4. Disable post by email > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-by-email/

  5. Disable post by voice > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-by-voice/

  6. Use a secure, encrypted connection to connect to your Dashboard. Under Users → Personal Settings, check the box that says “Always use HTTPS when visiting administration pages, and click Save Changes.
