    Hi,
    Is setting up SSL for the admin logon and admin pages only really so easy?

    Just:
    a. generate self-signed SSL
    b. add to wp-config: define(‘FORCE_SSL_ADMIN’, true);
    c. to visit your blog now (in non-secure/http mode) fix url:
    – Log into your WordPress instance and go into the Dashboard.
    – Go to the General Settings page.
    – Change the WordPress address (URL) and Blog address (URL) fields to begin with http instead of https. Don’t forget to Save Changes.

    Is that really all?
