by Leave a Comment

SIDEKICK PROHave you ever stumbled on a website and wonder what in the world this is all about? Or say to yourself “O great! Another website for such and such service and why do I need it”?

Well, that’s what happen to me when I found SIDEKICK, an interactive walkthrough plugin for WordPress.

Why Policy and Procedures Are Important

Policy & ProceduresPolicy and Procedure, what is it and would anyone need one?

A Policy and Procedure is a set of instructions or documents on how to handle and run your business. Sounds a bit strange to have a document that tells you how to run your business, after all you know how to run your business, right?

Actually, its not just about your business – nobody knows how to run your business better than you do whether it be boat repair, baking, or web design. No, having a policy and procedure is much more than that. It’s about how to run the front office, hire and fire, what to do in case of an emergency, etc. In a nut shell, the policy and procedure document allow everyone to understand their roles and responsibilities within predefined limits.

Advertisements: Love ’em or Hate ’em

AdvertiseWhy We Love Advertisements

Lets face it. Advertisements are here to entertain (or at least try to) and to sell us with products and/or services that companies offer. These ads are created by marketers, businesses and big corporations who are vying to get your attention with hopes that you’ll buy their stuff and that you’ll be a loyal customer.

Advertisements come in many forms – infomercials, T.V. commercials, radio ads, print, web and web text/video ads. You see the ads watching T.V., when you listen the radio, surfing YouTube and literally all over the internet – banners, links and pop up’s. Of course, by far the best kind of advertisement is word of mouth.

Duo Security Two-Factor Authentication

by Leave a Comment

Duo Security Two-Factor AuthenticationWhat is two-factor authentication in the first place? As many of you know when you log into your WordPress website, you’re first line of defense, of course, your user name and password. But passwords are notoriously insecure and many users choose weak passwords which can be easily guessed or cracked. Phishing attacks trick people daily into revealing their passwords, and users on unsecured networks (e.g. at Internet cafe) can have their passwords sniffed. Malicious viruses and spyware can capture passwords and send them over the network to hackers.

Clearly passwords are not enough for protecting your important login!

Introducing Duo Security Two-Factor Authentication.

Duo Security Two-Factor Authentication allows you to setup your WordPress website that leverages your smart phone as a second factor to login. Don’t have a smart phone? No worries. Duo Security works with all phone types, from landlines to smartphone platforms. In the simplest case, users just answer a phone call and press a button to authenticate.

How It Works

When you type in your WordPress login credentials, you are directed to Duo Security’s Two-Authentication page where, Duo Security will either send you a text, ask for login permission or type in a code to continue your login.

Duo Security's Two-Factor Authentication Methods

The Duo Security is fairly easy to setup however if you are not familiar with setting up security measures it can be a little challenging. Here’s a link for a step by step instruction on how to setup Duo Security for WordPress.

Duo Security has a pricing plan that can fit anyone’s budget. The personal is free and can support up to ten users, have unlimited integration and supports all authentication methods. This is a great plan to start when its just you or a small team and you want better login security.
