I have 15 pages, but sometimes I see only 1-2-3 when I type my blog url, dont understand why.
I checked the 'bulk actions' too, every page has the same edit.
I tried also on my ipad and iphone, the same issue, so definately no software or cookie-problem.
or is it simply the 'Coraline' theme? :(

Since my gmail account was hacked, it seems as if Audelib is now connected to another username/email because I tried many options and it only sent access to NouvellePeau and it's not the one I want to recover. Before, all my blogs were under the same user name and now they are all separate. Is there a way I can know if the username/email to Audelib and Startups and Downs was changed? I tried all my emails and usernames that I can think of.

THEN change all of those passwords to something unique, new and secure ie different from one another. Even if you changed those passwords before, it does you no good if they still have access to your email, so change that first, then change all of those.

I'll flag this for staff attention; you'll have to communicate directly with them about this.

After being hacked for the first time in the 7 years I've had my hotmail account I checked out my settings and saw that you [WordPress] have full access to my contacts and other vital info.

Anything I can do to help... also, it's my interpretation of the OP's request that they believe their WordPress account gives WP total access to their Hotmail account, and this access led to their Hotmail account being 'hacked'.

I can't imagine any other reason for being hacked except for my newly set-up wordpress account

But I've been wrong a few times already today, and all of your advice to the OP works either way.

1. Your registration, you pay to someone else, I guess BT.

2. Your domain mapping, which you pay us to direct your domain to your blog. Your domain mapping is still active until it expires February 3, 2012.

I have switch your blog's primary domain back to http://rutterandbennett.wordpress.com/ for now, so at least that will work. Once you get the domain weirdness figured out, you can change that again via Store -> Domains in your blog's Dashboard.

Not sure if this is helpful or not.
Macmanx - when you say the domain mapping is still good with you, what does that mean exactly? Sorry to be not very tech savvy.
