No, if I do a search on the web, our page shows and at the bottom there is an edit button that anyone can click on.

Log out, clear your browser cache and cookies and you will find that is not true. You are logged in and that’s why you can click it.

There will be autofilled information in a contact form or a comment box but your information is visible to you ONLY 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.

While we are discussing auto-filled information also note that the Admin [edit] link your see on your blog is only for your convenience and the convenience of your Editors, if you have any. And only you and your editors can see it and use it while you are logged in to WordPress.com.

Log out, clear your browser cache and cookies and without logging in visit your blog to see that your details will not be there.

Because you are logged in WordPress.com
Log out and go to https://umatillacountyrealtor.wordpress.com/ again.

BTW the rest of people can’t see the edit button. I’m logged in WordPress.com & i don’t see te button.

Ok, next question. I cannot get my static pages to align with the menu items across the top of my page, what am I doing wrong?
