Hi! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing a few months of hard work due to no backup. Do you have any solutions to stop hackers?

G’day Dean from Australia and thanks for commenting. Sorry for delay in responding.
Years ago my main wp blog was hacked. Broke my heart. I had a backup service but the restore didn’t work. All I had left was the
basic framework plus comments and a few posts. Please do the following:
1. Make sure you have the latest version of wp installed. It’s to do with security. WP’s security rating is now more than double
all other platforms. 2. Make sure not to have admin as your user. It’s open door for hackers.
3. Make sure you have the very best most used backup/restore which is http://kevin-johnston.com/WordPressBackup
4. For security use either of these proven sites. Never failed. Don’t buy cheap or free pretenders.

Howdy, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just wondering
if you get a lot of spam comments? If so how do
you stop it, any plugin or anything you can advise?
I get so much lately it’s driving me crazy so any support is very much appreciated. http://forums.loneeagleflyingschool.org.au/index.php?action=profile;u=6596

G’day from Australia and thanks for commenting.
The most used product for comment spam is Akismet which is a free download from wordpress.org but to activate you need an access key from wordpress.com by making a small donation.
Make your site harder to access by using the free captcha plugin or the free Google reCaptcha plugin which I think can be linked to your Contact Me Form widget .
Cheers,
Kevin
