Don’t Let Someone Steal Your Blog

March 23, 2015 By Tia 3 Comments

Don't Let Someone Steal Your Blog. Tips, a great plugin and cautionary tales. Very important if you have your own blog. Click thru to read. | tiaskitchen.com/dont-let-someone-steal-your-blog

What is the most important thing about your blog or website?

Website Security. Without it, you don’t have anything else. You won’t have your blog, so nothing else to worry about.

Do you have worries about someone hacking into your website and taking it over? I sure do.

After reading articles about it happening like this from Ramshackle Glam and this from The Hungry Mouse, I got a little panicky.

Like so many horrible things in life, we never think it is going to happen to us. Until, it does. Just ask The Hungry Mouse and Ramshackle Glam.

Why Would Someone Steal Your Blog?

You might think that no one would steal your blog because:

  • You’re just a small food blog not a huge company that can dish out millions of dollars.
  • You don’t have a HUGE readership.
  • You only make a little bit off of ads.
  • You are more worried about stolen recipes and photos. (I hear you there. It happens way more and sucks a lot.)

But here is why they would, could and will steal your blog.

    Hmmm. I was going to change my admin username but it says I user names can’t be changed. Any insight, or something mAybe I am missing? I will check word fence out too, thanks for the tips!

      Thank you, Tessa! I forgot to add to the post that I created a new user with the made up name. Made my old one as “subscriber” while I went back and transferred all of the authorship of my blog posts to my new user. Once everything was transferred, I deleted the old one. I think I will write my next Monday post showing how I did that.

      Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    […] Last week I told you about the Wordfence plugin and how you should have your user name be anything b… And after “admin” it should not be something obvious, like your name or your blog’s name. I keep getting hackers/bots trying to login with tiaskitchen. (Hint to hackers and bots- It ain’t gonna work.) […]
