If you're new to this blogging journey, I want to remind you of something this morning: you don't need to have it all figured out to get started.⁠
⁠
It's fine if you don't know what your niche is. It's fine if your theme is not perfect. It's fine if your blog posts aren't optimized.⁠
⁠
You can always fix those things down the line.⁠
⁠
Just get started and write a post! You won't get where you want to be by trying to be perfect. You'll get there by taking imperfect action.⁠
⁠
And believe me, I don't have it all figured out either. (Want to know a secret? Nobody does! 😉 )⁠

I love how this quote applies to everything, from running my business to my cardio. It all takes time.⁠
⁠
Take a deep breath and keep going. It's a slow process.⁠

Happy Monday! 💚 It's officially fall! 🍂 And for some reason, it's really motivating. I don't know about you, but I love working with a cup of tea + a cozy sweater.⁠
⁠
I still have a few updates I need to catch up on for our current themes and maybe in the next few months, I'll be able to release a new theme! (Those Gutenberg + Genesis updates are kicking my butt!)⁠
⁠
What are you up to this week?⁠

When it comes to plugins, the fewer you have, the better. Unfortunately, plugins tend to be the most vulnerable part of a site.⁠
⁠
If you install the wrong one, you could get hacked very quickly.⁠
⁠
Only install a plugin if you really need it. They also tend to slow down sites, so consider that too. Using only what you need (and not loading your site with features that aren't necessary) will help keep your site secure + fast!⁠

Let's keep you safe 🔒 Did you know that vulnerable plugins are the way most people get hacked?⁠
⁠
So how do you avoid potentially dangerous plugins?⁠
⁠
1) Check how often the plugin gets updated: that means that if it hasn't been updated in over a year, chances are nobody is fixing bugs or security holes.⁠
⁠
2) What do the reviews say? Does the plugin actually does the job, or are people unhappy with it? The higher the star rating (and *amount* of reviews) the higher the chance it's safe!⁠
⁠
3) Who is behind the plugin? This is a bit harder to do, but if the person has a good reputation and they've built many successful plugins, you can most likely trust that a less-reviewed one might be just as safe!Do you have any tricks to figure out which plugins to install on your site? Share them below 👇⁠
