Is Your Blog Login Secure?

I use Wordpress a popular blogging tool for that blog and was in the habit of logging in via a regular “http” (unsecured) address in order to post. Geeky note: A secure login starts with https and must be supported by either a shared or dedicated “SSL certificate” from the web host… With the help of two first-class technodudes (Justin Crawford and Tom Vilot) I was able to fix this problem and implement secure login for Contentious. I won’t bore you with the technical details but suffice it to say that it involved gaining access to the “shared SSL certificate” of my web host. Since Boulder Carbon Tax Tracker also includes a Wordpress blog hosted by the same web host and since it’s not just me but several people who need to post to that blog I knew we also had to implement secure access for that blog as well. (More users multiplies your access risk. ) This required a bit of unexpected wrangling with our web host because of how they manage domains on accounts that include more than one domain. Well we finally got secure access implemented with Boulder Carbon Tax — which gives me more peace of mind. Lessons learned:When selecting a web host make sure they’ll provide (at the very least) access to their shared SSL to every domain hosted on your account.

Blogging was embraced as an easy form of self-publishing but once social networking came on the scene many bloggers turned to social media diet on sites like Friendster MySpace and Facebook. To compete in 2005 Six Apart purchased LiveJournal a social networking blogging site largely patronized by teenagers. Though the site has a strong international following U.
