Watch out for Bots!
Just giving you all a heads up.
I had installed a forum widget, but did not place it in my site. But a bot found it. Wordpress sent me an email alerting me that I had a new subscriber.
I did my investigation and found the subscriber using a familiar name with an email address from the domain of mini.pancingqueen-dot-com.
When I tried to go to the site, my web security software went crazy telling me not to proceed. I then searched the domain on Google and it listed nothing but bots.
Be on the lookout and do a small background check on any and all new subscribers.
Not sure if this domain is malicious, but to be on the safe side, I deleted the subscriber.
Just wanted to get the word out!
Be Creative and Productive.
All my best,

Not too bad. Working another angle on the internet that is working out pretty good. I plan to put some training out on it.
Thank you for sharing!
Maybe once you start using the widget you'll share your experience with it.

What is a Bot? Obviously I'm a a newbie
Bots are profiles or "users" that subscribe into your site and make "spam" listings. They can become a detriment to your site credibility.
