Top Tip: Click here to run a free scan for common PC errors

It can be hard keeping up with all the numerous WordPress updates. One of the problems of not keeping up is that you can leave your site open to hackers and other nasty people.

A quick way of seeing if you are vulnerable is to use the Wordpress Scanner that will check to see if your WordPress blog has any vulnerabilities. To use the scanner all you have to do is add a line of code to the header of your blog so that the WordPress Scanner cgi script can access the information and knows that you are indeed the owner of the blog.

It’s not perfect and it doesn’t check plugins, but it’s start. The alternative of course, is to just update your blog…..
