   There was a post published on my blog that was not published by me, and I am the sole writer of my blog. How did that happen, and what can be done to avoid the repeat? I hope my account has not been hacked.

   Just the link to some website, and a single promotional sentence. I deleted the post forthwith, of course.

   I can publish articles, but no links, photos or quotes.

   @hemrajsingh
   Go to your email program and change the password to a very difficult one because that's how many hackers gain access to blogs
   Read > http://en.support.wordpress.com/security/

   1. If you can log-in go here > Users > All Users and delete any user that does not belong there.

   2. Disable post by email > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-by-email/

   3. Disable post by voice > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-by-voice/

   4. Change your blog password to a very difficult one > http://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/#change-your-password

   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.
