If you have a blog, then you know that there is always a fear that things can go wrong. I’ve had several friends that have had issues with their blogs getting hacked, or some type of malware has invaded leaving them with issues that can be tricky to fix.
It’s a good idea to make sure your WordPress.org blog is as secure as possible to avoid having any problems and what better way to learn how to do that then from the WordPress Blog Rockstar himself…. Clifton Hatfield!
Clifton has written a 3 part blog series with MUST see tips for how you can prevent the security of your blog from being compromised. This series if very informative and offers things we can all easily do to keep our blogs safe. Make sure you read it HERE.
None of us want to be the victim of having our blogs messed with and I hope you find this information as helpful as I did. When it comes to the security of our blogs, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!
Don’t have a WordPress.org blog? I strongly suggest you consider switching to one STAT! (ooops my nurse side is showing) but seriously, I encourage you to see for yourself the reasons why from my business partner and mentor Terry Petrovick in his post A COSTLY Lesson On Why You MUST Own Your Blog.

Hey Kara thank you for making this information available to everyone. What Clifton and Terry share is imperative for blog security for anyone building a business online. Right now there is actually a virus going around on WP blogs creating all kinds of havoc – not a good thing. This is just one example of what can happen if you do not take the appropriate precautions. Thanks again!
