Don't worry, it's a common mistake. This forum has more google juice than the other because it's MUCH more active, as you can see.

Possibly I'm in the wrong forum as well?

WordPress.COM software is only available to people hosting their blogs at WordPress.COM. That version of WP software cannot be downloaded and run on your computer at all.

WordPress.org is the version that you use with your own web host.

The WP.com software is very modified from the WordPress.org software that you'd be able to put on your computer.

Here, we cannot modify the function of themes, we can only modify their appearance via CSS editing, and then only with a paid upgrade. It sounds like you'd be better off with paid hosting and a WordPress.org install.

These seem to be coming from a Twitter account that you connected to your blog, possibly through http://hootsuite.com/

You can then later regenerate a new post by email password and reactivate it.

In the mean time looks at the solutions below - also double check the passwords and security of your email account and make sure your PC does not have a virus.

The only “hacked” sites I have seen here have been people getting the password somehow to a site so you do want to be careful how you log in and use a tough password.

You should also check to make sure that someone has not added a new user to your site. Problems have also happened when there was more than one Admin. and an Admin left on less than graceful terms.

Dashboard >> Users

There have also been a few Posts on “hacked” sites and it was because someone got the Post by Email address and using the Post by Email to send in new Posts, if you have Post by email you can regenerate the address for that feature.

If you are really concerned you could as the staff to look at your site: http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/

You could also use a secure log-in in case you are on an unsecured link: http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/

how many admins are there?

I suggest using a blog name that others might not want such as mytestblog7392.wordpress.com or something similar. Set the blog to private and then you can test away. You can if you wish even export your content and import it into the test blog so you are working with your content. Just make sure and keep it private so it doesn't conflict in the search engines with your main site.
