Though ejunkie displays on your site like it is built in (which is why we love it) it runs on their servers and uses their security. Moreover, the payments go through paypal which is on their servers. Thus, check those two off as you are in good hands. Now onto your hosting and WordPress. We will have a post coming out this week on security steps for locking down your blog. Subscribe to the email feed to get this or check back. We will cover using security keys in your config file, file permissions, strong passwords, and more. The next issue is your hosting. GoDaddy is good hosting. They can have performance problems if your blog gets a lot of traffic but all in all it is good hosting and they have pretty diligent security scanning within their infrastructure. Still, SecurePress is a plugin that utilizes a patented scanning technology from SecureLive that does two things for you. One, it identifies requests into your hosting that are up to no good and blocks them. Then, the person or program that did this is identified to their network and all other SecureLive users will be notified to block that person/program. we use it on all of our blogs. They have a $49 promo right now that can be found at this link. <a href="http://bit.ly/aRa4uF" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/aRa4uF</a> Look for the post coming up and definately check out secure live. Last, back regularly (WP-DBBackup) and copy your WP-Content folder to your local hard drive once your blog is done. WP-DBBackUp is easy as you can email yourself a backup and schedule it. The folder copy is something that GoDaddy can walk you through how to use their FTP tool in their control panel. With those backed up, you can have a disastrous day on your blog and recover from it not loosing anything. Keep in touch with us as to the progress of your blog and what you learn on the security front. First, let's separate the blog from ejunkie.

I also want to add ejunkie. What kind of security should I be looking at? The jargon is confusing. On my home systems (not servers) I use ESET, and it does a great job. What should I be doing about the hosted site I now have? Also, will Thesus run there? And, is there a glossary of terms anywhere so I can start learning the term? Most of this stuff is really confusing. Thanks a bunch. I have my new blog up on GoDaddy. I also want to add ejunkie. What kind of security should I be looking at? The jargon is confusing.
