WordPress Security isn’t the sexiest topic, but with a little chastity belt reference and some hot security tips I plan on changing that!  Security is a major concern for all website administrators and WordPress powered websites are no different.

Even worse imagine spam links hiding in your content destroying your search engine ranking. Keeping your website safe from hackers and bots should be a top priority for anyone running their own website. In this presentation I’ll cover the essential WordPress Security tips that ALL WordPress administrators should use to keep your website safe and secure.

Is your WordPress website as secure as it can be? Do you have spam links hidden in your site? How many of these tips do you follow? You’ll have to attend my presentation to find out!

    Hey Amanda, thank you for the kind words! I had a great time at WordCamp NYC and it seems people really enjoyed the security presentation. I’d love to come to Boston, but won’t know how it will fit into my schedule until next month. I’ll def keep it in mind and let you know!
