Great stuff, Hal.

This series might make a great e-book

I'm working on that now. I hope to have it finished in a few days. Thanks Randy.

Great wrap up. Now to get the final parts from my long term to do list to my short term to do list.

I like your point about writing for you. That's what I do too – the comments are nice, and the more you get the more you want, but I really do write so my head won't explode. When I look back at my earlier posts, I see that “my head is going to explode” feeling much more clearly than I do now. Which tells me I'm either getting better at writing OR the writing is making me feel less explosive and therefore more likely to write a better post.

Chicken or the egg, right?

Thanks Missy. All this is easier than it appears, I hope. The mechanics are easy, the writing is hard.

Hi Hal,

You have some great advice here for newbie bloggers.

Although I have heard of the other plugins, I hadn't heard of the Wordpress firewall, so I'm going to check that out. You can't take security seriously enough. All it takes it one small crack and your site can be compromised.

Thanks,
Karen

Thanks Karen. Knowing how to use htacess is probably the best way to harden a site. That can quickly get involved.
