How to Keep WordPress Secure
August 16, 2010
You’ve probably noticed a little message at the top of your WordPress admin, telling you that there is a new version of WordPress available and giving you a link to upgrade.
Each new version of WordPress removes new security threats and protects against bugs and hackers (as well as introducing fantastic new features and better useability).

This is an extract from my presentation at WordCamp Auckland 2010…
What is a WordPress Plugin?
Plugins are pieces of software which you can upload to your WordPress website/blog to add functionality such as: email forms | photo galleries | social media sharing | events calendars | e-commerce.
The WordPress Superiority Factor
To quote one of my clients, James Madelin of www.orbisflash.com :
”The best bit is that WordPress is such a common platform that almost anything you could want done has already been done and can be implemented by downloading the right plugin.”

- They are managed from inside your WordPress admin
- They are constantly being improved and upgraded
- They are mostly free

Use the PollDaddy plugin for WordPress to add a survey to your website quickly and easily. Find out what they think about your products, what they want to know more about and a host of other questions. You can have the survey results instantly visible to everyone or just to yourself from inside your WordPress admin.
To illustrate how to use this plugin (and to get answers), I created a quick survey for all my loyal newsletter subscribers and readers of my blog. Place your vote below or click on ‘results’ to see which option is the most popular.
