you are trying to hotlink this image file from her server:

http://www.jillstanek.com/smoothie.jpg

Once you remove the file request, it should stop happening.

Must be a link from http://6jbxtra.wordpress.com/ to stanek - or a redirect from a link.

Any idea what was added to your blog just before the ugly pop-up showed up?

No idea who this Stanek person is although they do have a word press blog if you search for jill stanek.

Is there nothing else I can do then? :-(

The blog doesn't appear to be hosted here at WordPress.com, so there's unfortunately little we can do to assist.

What's popping up is an authorization box that's likely been set up at the server level or using the .htaccess file in the /wp-admin/ directory. And auxclass is right; it looks like a Movable Type blog, so I'm not sure if there's even anything *in* the wp-admin directory.

Did someone set this site up for you? You would probably be best off contacting that person for help.

Thanks for marking the topic for us, RC.

I vaguely remember this happening to someone else several years ago, and it turned out to be a mistake in the back end of the blog, a piece of code that had gone astray. Of course, I can't find that thread now. I'll flag this thread for attention by staff and hopefully we can get this straightened out for you.

If confirmed, I think that staff should remove the link in this post to prevent this happening again.

'authentication required'

and then the following message

'A user name and password are being requested by http://www.jillstanek.com. The site says: "wp"'

followed by a username and password box.

Can anyone tell me how to get rid of it?
