3 Tips To Keep Your WordPress Website or Blog Secure

Unfortunately, a few months ago my WordPress website was hacked. The same month several pages of website content were copied. These events have given me the opportunity to share what I have learned with others. Look out for another post in the near future that will address how to deal with copyright infringement. Today, I will discuss website security.

Below are 3 quick tips to help you secure your website.

• Always update your WordPress blog or website with the current version. The current  version is WordPress 3.0. WordPress recommends that you check requirements, back-up your database and disable your plugins before you update.
• Create a strong user password and change it regularly.
• Regularly back-up your website or blog in the case it is compromised. You can install a plugin like WordPress Database Backup that allows users to schedule automatic database backups.
