I have had many people ask me about wordpress 2.7 and WordPress Secured being released with the new version of wordpress. As I have explained to those that email and pm me I will post here.

I do not advise anyone to upgrade to wordpress 2.7 until they make it stable. Currently it does have some issues and I am working on a dummy version now to create WordPress Secured v3. I do not have any release date as of yet, keep an eye out for it though.

The dummy version I have installed and I am working on has not had very many issues but there are some issues when it comes to several plugins and themes. Another security issue I see is that wordpress has automatic updates, I plan on ripping this out before I release WordPress Secured v3 because it is a huge security risk to allow wordpress automatic access to your system.

Simple WordPress Starters Guide
(Assuming your blog is installed at your main domain)

* Create a sub-domain myproduct.myblog.com and create a page with that product. Make sure that you link to the blog from this created page. Link can be in the footer if you wish, just as long as there is a link.

* After creating the page with the product on the sub-domain name, then login to your blog and create a post about said product and link to the created page for that product.

What you are doing is cross-linking your product and your blog. Do this with 5 or 10 or more products, each time cross-linking and blogging about the product.

* Going a step further you can also create a category specific for each product so when you make a blog post about that product then it is well organized and more user friendly.

* By having your own category for each product make sure to make 1 - 2 post each week for each of the products in that products category. This will give your blog fresh content and help keep your product promoted.

Increasing your blog exposure

* Make sure you get the All-In-One-SEO plugin as this will help with promotion of your blog.

* Make sure you get XML Sitemap plugin as each time you make a post it will update your sitemap and notify google, yahoo, msn, and ask.com

* Make sure to setup your permalinks for more seo friendly url’s.

Doing the above will help you have a better chance of creating a blog that will generate money and traffic.

Hello Everyone,

Since wordpress 2.7 was released on thursday I have been looking through the system and testing it. I have installed a dummy blog for the testing and have implemented security measures on the blog to see if there can be a smooth transition from WordPess Secured v2 which was recently released.

So far everything seems to be running fine but I am doing more test to make sure. I have got rid of the icons and created my own and put them in admin as they are much better looking. Will be spending the next few days going through some other things on the new release and will make a decision on a new release of WordPress Secured based off wordpress 2.7

People with Internet and web experience of all levels have worked to make sure that their websites, web service accounts and browsers were as safe as they could be from computer hackers. However, the hackers practice an old baseball saying which goes, “If you want to be a success you have to hit ‘em where they ain’t.”

The weakness that the hackers have found is the WordPress Blog. Many may have never considered a blog to be worthy of a hacker’s attention, yet with the way that advertising and marketing dollar potential have soared, that’s what sets a hacker off on their hunt for a victim.
