Last Friday’s find was about a post over at Mezzoblue documenting an settling experience of finding “hidden links” at the bottom of the site’s pages. That post motivated me to get off my butt and upgrade my version of WordPress along with changing all of my passwords back at Dreamhost (my host provider). Since that post, I’ve become a little more aware of blog security and recently came across a post over at WpDesigner.com which outlines 5 ways to secure your blog.

The 5 security steps are simple and well worth more than just a read, you should actually implement these 5 steps. Why? For the simple reason of protecting your investment. I’m not talking about a financial investment (although that is applicable). I’m talking about your “time” investment. Everyone knows that putting a blog online takes time. Authoring even the simplest of posts takes time. Building your blog, site and audience, takes time. The worst thing that can happen to your blog is for it to get destroyed by some malicious hacker. Protect your investment, go and read the 5 ways to secure your blog post over at WpDesigner and follow his suggestions — today.
