13 tips for speeding up and securing a WordPress blog

Posted on January 24, 2021

There’s a strong consensus among those in the blogging world that WordPress is hands-down the best blogging platform out there.

It’s ease of use, amazing flexibility and natural friendliness towards search engines makes using WordPress a true no-brainer in my opinion.

But that being said, it’s extremely easy to build a WordPress site that’s cumbersome to use, irritatingly slow to load and inherently insecure if one just throws a bunch of “pieces” together to create their blog.

And as you might imagine a slow loading and insecure blog tends to drive away visitors in droves, keep your pages from ranking well in the search engines and make your blog susceptible to hackers.

On the other hand, it’s actually pretty easy to build and maintain a WordPress blog that loads very quickly and is (more or less) immune to hacking attacks if you know how to go about it. Here are a few tips that can help…  [Read more…]

Q&A: Can I get a closed Facebook account reinstated without sending them my ID?

Posted on June 16, 2020

Question from Catherine:  I have a big problem Rick. I clicked a link in a Facebook post and it must have infected my account with a virus because it immediately started sending out SPAM messages.

To be exact, the virus sent a spam message to everyone on my friends list. When I found out about it I changed my password, and everything seemed to be ok.

A few days later, I got married and changed my name on Facebook to my new last name. The next day Facebook deactivated my account.

Now Facebook wants to see a copy of my ID before they’ll reinstate my account.

The thing is I REALLY don’t want to give my drivers license out, especially since I’m not even positive that the message requesting to see it was even sent from Facebook.

Is there some way to get my Facebook account reinstated with just my cell phone number? Thanks.

Charmast 20000mAh Portable Charger / Power Bank with Built-in Cables

Are you constantly misplacing the cables to your portable power bank? This little gem solves that problem once and for all.

It comes with USB-C, USB-A and microUSB cables built right into it, ensuring that you always have them when you need them. And if your device uses a Lightning connector you can plug in an external Lightning cable as well.

The 20000mAH capacity is good for 3 – 4 full phone charges or several partial charges, which I’ve found to be more than adequate for my needs.

This has been my go-to portable charger and power bank for a while now and I absolutely love it.
