This Website Is Now Secure
For a number of reasons, including the fact that it’s been on my todo list for a long time, I have enabled HTTPS (Secure HTTP) for this website. The other reason is that I plan to start publishing articles created by a few trusted writers. Encrypting the connection became important as it wasn’t when there were no external connections for people to contribute.
As usual it was a good learning experience. I also had to take information from multiple sources and synthesize it into what works for this site. That all makes for a good article which I plan to publish soon.
