			<description><![CDATA[<p>No one can post anything into your sidebar unless you provide access to your site or it has been hacked.  <a href="http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/" rel="nofollow">http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/</a> How many Administrators does the blog have? <a href="http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator" rel="nofollow">http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator</a> </p>
<p>Is your login information secure or has someone else been able to access it?  Have you posted an email address on the blog, rather than using a secure contact form? <a href="http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/" rel="nofollow">http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/</a></p>
<p>If you think your blog has been hacked do what follows:<br />
1. Go here &#62; Users &#62; All Users and delete any user that does not belong there.<br />
2. Disable post by email &#62; <a href="http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-by-email/" rel="nofollow">http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-by-email/</a><br />
3. Disable post by voice &#62; <a href="http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-by-voice/" rel="nofollow">http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-by-voice/</a><br />
4. Change your blog password to a very difficult one and do not post it here &#62; <a href="http://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/#change-your-password" rel="nofollow">http://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/#change-your-password</a><br />
5. 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.<br />
6. Go to your email program and change the password to a very difficult one<br />
7. Read &#62; <a href="http://en.support.wordpress.com/security/" rel="nofollow">http://en.support.wordpress.com/security/</a>
