Here was I, working away on my removing-plugins-crusade and I’ve blown it. I just added one. Actually, not really added – replaced. But I removed the one I’ve replaced a while ago, so it feels like adding. This blog is now mobile-friendly again, thanks to the Wapple Architect.

I was helping someone get their blog configured the other day and we came to setting up WP-Security-Scan – one of the plugins I do recommend. It takes you through some pretty straightforward steps that will strengthen your WordPress installation against mass bot hack attacks. One of the recommendations it makes is to change your [...]

Back here I wrote about the benefits of using as few plugins as possible on your site. As is typically me, this has turned into a bit of a crusade (removing plugins from my site, that is). Here, again, are the reasons for my crusade: Plugins can slow down site load times, they may fall [...]
