To secure your blog, all you need to do is turn on the SSL certificate. It controls the data transfer on your site and makes it unreadable to nosy people who might sniff the data from the outside. But before you start worrying that only tech-savvy experts know how to do this, let me show you how you can get a FREE secure connection in just a few steps: 1. Login to your Bluehost account, choose the “hosting login” tab. 2. Click on “My Sites” from the menu. 3. Hover over the thumbnail that represents your site. 4. Click the “Manage Site” option that will show up over the thumbnail.  5. Select the “Security” tab at the top.  6. Turn on the “Free SSL Certificate” by clicking the switch to “On”.  After toggling the switch, you should wait up to one hour before the changes become visible on your blog.                           To quickly identify if the SSL certificate was successfully installed for your domain, check for the icon next to the URL of your blog. If using Chrome, you should see a little green lock followed by the word “Secure”. This will indicate that the certificate has been successfully installed and that your blog is secured.
