    These are great tips! I learned the value of two-way security when my Instagram account got hacked. I activated that on all my digital accounts then. And I need to get into the habit of backing up more often.

    I completely agree with the points you shared here in this post and I personally strictly follow after once my website got hacked. SSL certificate is something very very important which majority of the bloggers new comers and amateurs dont know. To few I also recommended but got some stupid reply like ” who is going the extra cost for having the SSL” …. I have no answers to such thought processes. But one thing I should accept is that what is important and what not for the health and security of the wordpress website /blog I learned from my techy hubby 🙂

    Thank you for this series, Ritu. Although it all goes over my head. But once I am out of this depressive episode I will surely connect with you. I really need help. Tech talk is like taare zameen par for me. Hats off to you for successfully handling two blogs at a time.

    I wish I had read this a week ago! I just had to do the same and opted for Bluehost- they were really helpful with securing the site. I agree it’s so so essential to have a secure website and I am glad you are putting this info out there for other bloggers

    That seems to be a important read for self-hosted blogs. And security and having a check on downtime and backup are always a safe idea.

    Iam sure this blog will be useful to many Ritu. I myself have reached out to you for some insights in the past. Iam on WordPress only since 2020 and I have had some issues. By trial and error, I have managed to overcome some of them. There is loads to learn and explore.

    This is really helpful. I started my blog on blogspot 10 yes back and then tried migrating to Wp after few years. However I found it to be complicated and then switched back to blogspot.

    Amazing tips for those who would want to indulge into the blogging world. While others may say that blogging is already dead, in reality, there’s still a lot more to share in blogs. Same as books, there would always be a reader for everything.
