If you’ve read this blog, or the posts on my Top Design Blogs service blog, you’ll know I bang on about WordPress security quite a bit.

Yet, webmasters don’t seem too concerned that their WordPress blogs are potentially vulnerable to being hacked. I offer a free service over at Top Design Blogs that tests 8 potential weaknesses on a blog but few webmasters take me up on the offer.

So is there an attitude out there …

With Google now using page loading time as a metric on how to rank websites, it now makes a lot of sense to tweak your WordPress blogs so that they load as quickly as possible.

And, surprisingly, there’s little or no information available about how to tune your blogs for a bit of a speed boost. Not all in one place anyway.

To fill that gap, Luke Corden as released Speed Demon, a video tutorial course (with accompanying 111-page …

Article Builder is an online spinning tool that creates quality, readable articles for 130+ niches.

It was created by Jonathan Leger who also created The Best Spinner which you may have heard of

Today I launched a new service for getting WordPress blogs built. It’s called Top Design Blogs. Not everyone is familiar with WordPress or is able to create a site focused on promoting a product; not everyone has the time to write content.

Well, this blog is built with WordPress. As are many of my other sites. Though not all my sites are built on WordPress.

For someone not familiar with WordPress, building a site with it can be a daunting prospect. There’s quite a bit …

My Relationship With WordPress

Those of you who are regular readers of this (or some of my other blogs), know I’ve had a – I was going to say a love/hate relationship with WordPress, but it’s pretty much just been a hate relationship with it, over the last couple of years.

I consistently found my blogs were offline, had 500 Internal Server Errors, nginx errors, were very slow to load (some page load times exceeding 60 seconds). And in addition …

2012 saw two major updates to Google’s search engine known as the Panda and Penguin updates. These changed the landscape by introducing new criteria by which websites are ranked. It’s fair to say that while Google intended to scrub thin, spammy sites from its index and boost quality sites to the top of the rankings, the exact opposite happened.

There are plenty of stories about legitimate online businesses (not internet or affiliate marketers) who saw their sites (and earnings) tank …

Hacking of WordPress blogs is becoming a major problem, as I’ve outlined in my Repairing a Hacked WordPress Blog report.

It doesn’t matter whether you’re a big business or a small-time webmaster who gets little of no traffic. If you have a WordPress blog, then you’re ripe to be hacked.

Especially if you give no consideration to securing your site.

And most people don’t…because they think it’s too complicated.

Ok, let me throw some statistics at you…

I’ve had a number of my WordPress blogs get hacked over the last year so I’ve learned the hard way how to repair a hacked blog and how to secure my blogs against future attacks. And now I’ve put what I’ve learned into my new PDF report: Repairing a Hacked WordPress Blog.
