Thanks a lot for the article. It’s a great guide on how to setup a website!
Excellent, excellent guide. I personally have several blogs but still found some invaluable information here.
Backing up and protecting your blog is something I had to learn the hard way recently, and you’ve definitely shown me things I had no idea about. I haven’t yet checked my plugins directory, but thank you for pointing that out. It’s unfortunate we have to protect ourselves from malicious attacks but, when it does happen the only person we can blame, ultimately, is ourselves. So thank you for that.
Looking forward to seeing more updates in the future!
