I had some problems with my WordPress install. OK, it was my fault. I updated every website that I administer, made sure that all the security check were done, made sure that my passwords were not dumb… All the stuff. However, I forgot about MY website. I didn’t update it regularly. It’s only a matter of time until someone scanned my install and hacked into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
As of now, everything looks OK. They didn’t take it down or anything, no. They just installed multiple phishing websites all over. I just erased the whole thing and started again, but differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You see, what I like about WordPress is that it’s easy to update. However, there are some features that I just don’t need. At this point in my life, I don’t need a heavy content management system that is always ready to do whatever I need it to. I just need a static website that I update from time to time, and static is the keyword. The way my website works now is static. As of now there’s not a single piece of code around. All the programming is done off-site. The old way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The secret<\/em> is that I still manage my website from a WordPress installation. After I’m done with any changes, I just publish the whole thing to HTML. It takes some extra time but it’s well worth it. Also, the pages load faster because the server is just serving<\/em> web pages, and not dynamically generating them every time someone is viewing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Are static HTML websites hack proof? Hell no! Well, the HTML itself is, just not the server, but that is another story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m done with WordPress.
