Trying out Wordpress

I have always leaned towards Joomla, but I have been hearing great things about Wordpress so I decided to try it out... First impressions - very intuitive, lots of available plugins, easy to install. - noticed right off the top that it is not very secure - if you want to make the site somewhat private it requires some work... First I added the "Private WordPress" plugin. This assisted in making sure that only authenticated users have access. Next I added options to use SSL... WordPress HTTPS The next step was to allow content sent to the server that is greater than 54M using Add From Server So far so good. Time to deploy - under an hour. A.
