Is lazy the same as easy?

Well if it’s, here is a lazy way creating a table of contents for your WordPress blog.

Set it up and forget, it’ll look after the rest.

Yea, a night and day difference from the old way of making a website Table of Content. Either your did it yourself or paying someone to  manually type  each new link in the correct structure every time a new link created.

It was a pain especially if links posted wrong and your out-of-pocket cost mounted.  Especially if paying someone creating your websites table of contents.

It’s easy getting the attitude: “Man, why bother”.

Because when you think about it, it’s taking a ton of your time if you’re manually creating a Table of Contents when you could be doing more productive things.

Your website visitors  don’t  put up with any website laziness.

Not showing your websites Table of Contents is like opening a book without a Table Of Contents. You’re lost before you can even start.

All it takes is a plug-in, which puts your Table of Contents on your blog. Quickly giving your up-dated Table of Contents to your blogs visitors  in a clean neat fashion without you doing a thing.

Take the few minutes now and get putting this Table of Contents Creator plug-in on your website. Activate it, put the code on the page and forget.

Yes it is that simple. It’s so simple if you don’t want to paste a line of code on your page, it’ll even create its own Table of Contents page if you wish.

Lock up your Log-in.

Do it now.

It’s your drill Sargent yelling the order.

Ignoring this suggestion is becoming the bird at the cat convention. Never knowing when the strike will happen or how vicious. Praying the cats don’t notice your high traffic blog.

Here’s how you’ll quickly lock up your Admin and log-in screen.

It’ll get you up flying above the cats, quickly locking up your Admin and locking down your login page. Helping keeping the hobby hackers at bay.

However because cats can climb and leap into the air, you can’t let your guard down. Taking these tips as a couple of steps along the way in securing your Word Press blog from unwanted entry and attacks.

Logging in as Admin ? We’ll Change it now.

In a moment you’ll be creating a new user name for your Administration account, testing it and if working ok then locking for security reasons. Meaning no one can log into using the old Admin account.

Lets get started

Log-into your WP admin account.

When logged in find “Users” from the list on the left, then Add New User.

Fill out the form as you will be creating your new administrator name and defiantly don’t call it Admin. Before saving, change the “Role” to Administrator then click Add User.

When your new Admin name is saved look to the left for the name “Users” and click it.

Here you’ll see your old Admin user name and your new administrator user name.

Log out of WP and log into WP again now using your new user name and password.

If it works, great. If not log in with your old Admin user name then fix and try again.

When your new log-in works. do stay logged-in and go into Users – Authors & Users.

Then under your (OLD) Admin click the edit link.

Under Role: change from administrator to “No role for this blog” then go to bottom of page and find
“User account locked “and click the little box “User account is locked for security reasons”.

Then click Update User and you’re done.

Quickly slam the door using User Locker plug-in

Keep your head down as we get moving on seeing if you’ll be the victim of an upcoming dictionary attack. Then taking action, putting up your blogs defense against up coming dictionary attack.

You know, if you forget your password it’s no problem as you can keep trying until you get it right. If it takes 7 or tons of times but when right – you are in.

Then it’s a good bet you’re a sitting duck waiting for a brute forced dictionary attack.

The attack taking place live on your blog’s log-in at some unknown time and only your imagination seeing how brutal. A ditto image of me a couple of days ago. Yes, it’s why we’re having this talk now.

Running a dictionary attack on you.

Briefly it’s automatically running words from the dictionary then in different combos until the right combo is hit. Allowing entry and running loose causing havoc across your blog. Guess they could even change your password on you.

Ouch!

Quickly Shuts Down Login Plugin

Here is how you can rest easy from this fear of being hit from a dictionary attack using a little plug-in which will get shutting down your login fast.

Look out, it’ll even do it on you if you forget.

It doesn’t care who you are. If you don’t know your user name and or password you’re not getting in.

The lock out plug-in allows you to set a limit on the number of tries you will allow logging in before the door gets slammed shut in their face.

Any further login attempts won’t happen.

They must request a new password via a verification link which is sent to registered users registration email.

Again stopping the attacker, because we’ll assume they don’t have access to the real register persons email account. Thus are unable to verify and the login remains locking them out.

If you forget your login, as it does happen you too will be locked out. But you’ll easily verify the email sent to you, quickly resetting your password and flying through logging into your blog.

It’s similar to security before getting on an airplane.

If you know your user name and password it’s your ticket in. If you stumble a few attempts you can try again as we all stumble sometimes.

But if stumble one to many times – walls go up – login shuts down and “who ever” isn’t getting through.

Get User Locker plug-in now controlling your user log-ins now.

Listen.

Hear your Drill Sargent.

Do it. Quickly getting your WordPress blog under User Locker security plugin now.

Enjoy

Blog boosting plugins.

Plugins easily help you get quickly super-charging your blog. Making it easier to do more blogging and knowing what’s happening under the hood of your blog.

Using your fresh out of the package WordPress blog then plugging in plugins will instantly transform your WordPress into a more powerful blog.

Plugins saving you from manually doing a task. Or having to muck around with webpage code trying to make something work. Plug in the plugin and it takes over doing its task.

A WordPress Plugin is like a little box which plugs into your WordPress blog. This little plugin instantly gets expanding your WordPress capabilities by doing its assigned task.

You blogging life just got easier, with the help of a plugin.

Making it do somethings. – Automatic Pinging
Doing lots of things – SEO
Or one tiny thing – puts code to selected search engines, a handy time saver.

Plugins expand your blog capabilities in a snap, pouring all the information you want about your blog into your hands.

Plugins make your website building easy. You’re not in a little row-boat running your blog any more.

You’re now high up in control tower with plugins helping you do the many tasks. Feeding you data – information about your website for you to look over then take action.

Plugins doing big and little tasks. Helping you have a strong grasp on your blog, easily growing your niche blog websites.

I like you am new to blogging. Before I’d hand code my html web pages. Wasn’t into blogging. This means I was setting up my web pages using SEO, search engine optimization techniques.

Maybe why I was jumping into blogging years ago as there wasn’t a way SEO could easily be done by oneself in a blog.

However there is now a WordPress plugin making SEO work easy in a blog.

You can add your:
Head Titles
Head Description
Keywords
for every page and blog post your make on your blog. As are for this post.

Instead of posting your post naked – add attention-getting SEO clothing to your posts. With the SEO plugin right below the text edit window are fields for your posts; Head title, description and keywords.

It’s as easy as writing your post, then filling in your keywords and descriptions then publishing.

This plugin called Greg’s High Performance SEO

The second plug-in lets you easily verify your website with the code given by Search Engines, Bing, Google, Yahoo.

Ok, let me explain.

Your new blog isn’t known until the search engines start coming by and visiting. Also if you’re into pay-per-click, or Google Analytics your site will need be confirmed by the search engine.

The three search engines listed above will give you a key to put on your website confirming it is your website requesting indexing.

This little plugin puts the search engine code on your web-sever for the search engine to confirm its your website. Thats all this little time saver plug-in does.

Without the plug-in – for myself it would be harder to put the search engine code on my website.

The third plug-in I’m glad I found.

Because I was a crazed up-date pinger without knowing I was. And unaware the harm I could have done if I continued pinging.

WordPress pings every time you Publish and up-date your post or page.

With Ultimate Plugins Smart Update Pinger you don’t have to worry every up-date – published you do is being pinging because it wont be. What will happen is your first Publish will get pinged to the sites you list. But if you see a typo, spelling mistake or a sentence not clear you can fix and Publish again without any pinging happening.

Take it slowly with plugins – there are mountains of plugins. WordPress is always changing so plugins may fade out of fashion or not work with newer versions. And I like you, may act as a child in a candy store plugging in tons of plugins without checking each one first.

Activate one plug-in at a time. This way if a plug doesn’t work properly or makes your website go different you’ll know which plug-in to immediately deactivate and drop.

Go look over and give these plugins a test. See if they’ll get helping you save time by working in the background.

Three Must Have WordPress Plugins

1.Greg’s High Performance SEO
2.PC Search Engine Verify Settings
3.Ultimate Plugins Smart Update Pinger
