There is nothing more important these days than Internet security. From hackers to brute force attacks to identity theft, it’s never been more important to keep your Internet presence and assets safe from attacks. For that reason, I install and activate Wordfence as my first line of defense against Internet attacks.
Plugins add so much functionality to WordPress websites that make them even more appealing to your visitors and to you as the website owner. From security features to visual elements, there is at least one plugin for every website (probably even more!). For my purposes, I reactivated 14 plugins for AlteredPapercraft.com that make it safer and easier to use for my visitors and that make it easier for me present my content in safe and appealing ways.
WordPress.org has a plethora of themes to choose from with a variety of customizations. Given that, it is important to know what you might need from a theme and to be aware of what features that theme offers you for free and at a premium cost. Blocksy is a very robust theme with an incredible amount of customization and flexibility provided for free. It lends itself to many kinds of websites. I would recommend it to anyone using WordPress.
