  • Adding HTTPS to WordPress with Cloudflare

    With some helpful pursuasion from Planet Xamarin, I decided my blog needed to support HTTPS requests. I’ve wanted to find a way to support HTTPS traffic on my blog for a while, but I wanted to find a solution that would Just Work™ without me doing the leg work. I’ll stick to writing the blog posts and let someone else worry about hosting details.

    Just like anything security-related, setting up SSL intimidates me a bit (more so because this often involves the dark magic of DNS records). I’ll do security when I have to, but my prerequisite is always that I read so much about the topic I feel comfortable explaining every decision I make to either an expert or someone completely unfamiliar with the topic.
