Lets say that on your way to work a very shady man with a brown paper bag over his head follows you. Before entering your workplace, he asks for your social security number and credit cards. Willingly you hand them over to him… why would you do that? In the same way why would you leave your WordPress installation open for hackers? A security failure can put your users private information at risk, hijack all transactions, and turn your email accounts into porn spam machines. Perhaps your website has already been hacked and you don’t even know it. Below I’ve listed some plugins and tips that will make WordPress’s simple security more like a mobile fortress.
Create a WordPress Portfolio Tutorial
WordPress tutorials tend to be spread out and hard to find, especially information on using it to build a portfolio. After drinking large quantities of coffee to run through countless hours of Google results, I found nothing… You might ask “Come on, you didn’t find anything?” Well I did find a few simple WordPress tutorials that started me on the long journey of developing a portfolio, but nothing that took me through step by step. It seems that you must master WordPress syntax tags or buy a theme template to develop a basic portfolio these days, but alas! I will show you how to build a really cool portfolio thats 100% WordPress CMS powered. Check out the demo below for what we’re creating (this demo has only been tested with version 2.8 and 2.9).
