@cinderkeys – I’m only vaguely familiar with the inner workings of a Blogger account, but I do know you have an option to export your posts (this needs to be done when people transfer their blogs from Blogger to WordPress).

It might be a good idea to do an export of your posts from time to time to make sure you have a backup of some kind.

@SnaggleTooth – First, love the nickname; second, love the term Blogido. I’ll remember that one!

@Glenn Buttkus – No, it doesn’t really matter if you have a PC or Mac. As far as your home computer goes, what you really need to have is a good Firewall and Antivirus. I use Avast, but any good one will do.

The problem is, it’s not just your computer that could let them have access to your blog, it could be any number of things. For example, if you use FTP at all, that could get hacked. It’s important to secure that connection as well as others.

@Mama Zen – if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.

@debbie – It’s a sore spot for me as well. They drive me nuts and I just don’t understand it. It’s not even something that runs through my mind. I guess not everyone has the same good ethics as people like us.

@Jeanne – Please be very careful when backing your blog up and leaving the backup on the server. I have found people’s backups online before (I even show a snapshot of one I found in the ebook – important parts blacked out of course).

I prefer to just keep the backups either on my computer or a separate storage disk. If you must keep backups online, I talk about security steps you should take in the ebook. Things like setting up redirects and denied access.

@Betsy – no, you’re awesome! Deal with it. hehe

@Keith – I never realized the woman support. Hey, I think I like this.

Ben, some people have no conscience over this stuff. Which reminds, me I’m off to look at John’s e-book again and implement some more of his tips!

It’s definitely scary to think that there are people out there who get a kick out of destroying other’s work. Can’t remain ignorant about this one.

Hi Jannie
Yes… John is one of the good guys.
Good to see how much support he is getting. Most of it female I might add. LOL

His articles and videos a great sources of info and he puts lots into them.
He’s helped me in the past and taken the time to email me info for no charge.
One of the good guys who deserves to do well with his eBook.
I’ve bought mine already.
