This was the second national conference for WordPress. I am always glad I attend after I am there and in the mix. So many takeaways! I’d like to focus this post on what I discovered related to what’s new in 2017 for SSL. Read More

Beware. And tell your friends who have G-mail accounts.
Just when we thought SMS Recovery Codes where iron clad security measures for your G-mail or Gogle account, we learn they are not.
