I have another new Book on Amazon: ‘Master Guide To Protecting Your Privacy And Security With Windows 10’

Posted on August 12, 2020

My new eBook Master Guide To Protecting Your Privacy And Security With Windows 10 is now published and ready for purchase on Amazon.

As with my other eBook (the one explaining how to stay safe on Facebook), this one is listed at 99 cents.

Again, I wanted to give this book away for free to help as many people as possible regain their privacy and security when using Windows 10, but Amazon requires authors to choose a purchase price of at least 99 cents.

This book contains all the Windows 10 privacy and security tips that I have written about on this blog, but this puts them all in one place that can easily be kept on your computer or mobile device.

Although it’s a Kindle eBook, you can read it on any device by downloading Amazon’s free Kindle app.

Q&A: How do I change the ‘author’ of a blog post in WordPress?

Posted on August 12, 2020

Question from Carla G.: I have a WordPress blog and a while back I read your post explaining why we should write our blog posts using an “Editor” account instead of the “Administrator” account.

I set up a new account with the Editor role as you suggested and I’ve been logging into that account to do my writing ever since.

Yesterday I happened to notice that my old posts still have the Author name that corresponds to the Administrator account that I no longer use when writing my posts.

I tried to change the Author of one of those old posts to my other name and I can’t find a way to do it anywhere on the “Edit Post” screen. I know there has to be a way to do it though.

Can you tell me what I need to do to change the Author name on my old posts?
