Our Next Meetup – Tuesday 13 December

We’re happy to announce that our December meetup will be held on Tuesday, the 13th of December at Coastal Community Foundation, from 6:00pm to 7:30pm.  This meetup will feature only one speaker, but will be the first part of a two-part series.  Double-headers (two speakers) begin in January (details coming soon).

Securing WordPress – Part 1

Since WordPress enjoys the position of being one of the most widely used web platforms, it is also one of the most attacked.  From installation to operation there are fairly easy, and must-do steps to make sure your site is as secure as possible.

In this two part session, we will cover everything from file permissions and user accounts to script injection and backup procedures to protect your blog from hacking or downtime. The first part of the session will be delivered at this user group meetup.
