 * Is anyone using SSL for secure logins? If so I’d appreciate hearing any tips 
   you have for setting it up. Thanks.

 * I think I have it working. I edited the login portion of index.php.
    original:`
   < a href=""<?php">/wp-login.php">login< /a>` modified: `< a href="//www.mysite.
   com/wp-login.php"">login< /a>` Now when I go to log in from my main page, I’m
   taken to a secure page to enter username and password, then end up on the “Create
   New Post” page which is also secure.

 * You know, I never thought of using it. My account comes with one. I already had
   a link to wp-login.php on my page, so I just changed the same thing. It worked
   fine. Any pages loaded from the wp-login.php is https (SSL).

 * No need to apologise for asking a question. We were all newbies at one time. 
   All we ask is that you search first and try a few things and give us as much 
   info as you have to help us help you! 🙂

 * umm, The change did not work for me.
 * Is the change mentioned in earlier post correct, quotes et al?
 * < a href=”//www.mysite.com/wp-login.php””>login< /a>
 * The quotes do not match..I have tired both, with and without extra quote.
 * The reason it did not work could be my SSL cert is not installed propely. Any
   suggestions how I can check if cert is installed correctly, maybe with a simlple
   php webpage?
 * Help apprecaited…
 * Thanks
