Security and WordPress is always a big issue. And there are several precautions and plugins you can use to secure your site even more.
But there are also some very simple solutions that will help you keep your site secure. In this video I go over just a few of them. For more great security resources, check out WPSecurity Lock or scan your site at the Securi Site Check.

Bob, thanks.
I used your post about security to fix a problem with my login. I was using Admin and did not know how to change that. With you help and an easy to follow video you showed me the way.
Thanks.
P.S. I booked the site and will return to lean more about what I know a lot less about. Billy
That’s great to hear. It really is amazing to find out how many “admin” usernames are still out there, but just a little education will hopefully help that : )

Oh! I do have a gravitar, but I’m writing this from another computer, and things have been changed so it isn’t showing. I tell you, I am handsome, so that should do it right?

MMMM, that’s strange as it should pull it in no matter what computer you are using… as it’s tied into the email you put in when leaving a comment… wonder what the heck is going on? And yes, I will take your word that you are handsome!
