I received the following in an email from a site I'm registered with,
suggesting how you can tests sites for vulnerability.
I cannot vouch for filippo.io so beware/check out before using
Advice for web users:
There are ways you can test if websites you visit are vulnerable to the
'Heartbleed Bug' before you enter any personal details on them.
If you are a Chrome user you can download a Chrome Extension,
Chromebleed, which warns you when a site you're visiting has been affected.

There is also a test site you can check by domain names

Changing Passwords
As a precautionary measure, people are being advised to change the
passwords for all of their online accounts -- especially the most
sensitive accounts (Internet Banking, Email, Social Networks etc...).
If you decide to undertake these [painfully laborious] measures, may we
advise that you *do not change your password with a website until you
are certain that they have already patched the 'Heartbleed Bug'.* This
will ensure the safety of your new set of passwords.
