Some Quotes From My Latest Side Blog

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

  • Redundancy is actually not a form of backup at all.
  • You can of course store files on your computer, or you can use free WP plugins like WordPress Backup to Dropbox ... to back your site up to the cloud automatically and regularly.
  • ...a plugin recommended by security experts called “Wordfence Security” that automatically runs periodic scans of my website to make sure nothing has been tampered with and that there is nothing wrong with any installed plugins and themes. The cost of this? $0.
  • What you really get for the higher price is access to support that specializes in WordPress. There’s nothing unique about the installation.

  • You have to understand that most of the features being advertised on these plans are available at lower levels.

  • The only reason you ever need to think about upgrading a plan is if you are getting a lot of downtime thanks to traffic overflow. The rest of that stuff? Perks, bells and whistles. Nothing more.

  • ...integrity updates are already handled by WordPress internally.

  • I am much better off and I don’t need to resort to cheap advertising tactics to get my point across. Criticisms keep one honest, shoving them off to the side and deleting them while paying attention only to praise turns one into a liar or a fool.

  • If customer support were a science (and it may very well be), it would be one of a praxeological nature.

  • For any readers, remember that authority means nothing when that authority is wrong.

Get it while it's hot, this post may be gone tomorrow! The most honest thing you will read all week. No comments unless you've read the whole thing. ;)
