It’s Friday the Thirteenth, the SSL secure lock us currently up in the address bar (watch, it will disappear the moment I mention it here).
It’s three PM and I am in my Hunker-Bunker looking out over the Puget Sound and Bremerton. It’s partly sunny, 64° F and we are about to slip into the stormy period, where the leaves are blown off the trees and the rains begin. Entering mid-Autumn, with memories of Summer fading quickly away. Youth has slipped away. We enter a darker period.
Do you need the news? Could you go a day without it? Sure, I knew you could.
Today the News is Cancelled.
Let me sing you the song of my people…
What I am currently streaming on Netflix:
The last part just dropped this week.
My suggestion for Speaker:
Wow
, actually something I can agree with him on.

I think I found the problem with the SSL. you need to set up a full redirect. anything coming into http://nicedoggie.net needs to redirect to https://nicedoggie.net/
I don’t have access to the cPanel on the server or the registrar, which limits my actions here. I have set the WP address from http to https earlier, and that may have fixed it. (crossing fingers)
I sure hope that if it reverts back to “not secure” that I will have problems logging back into the backend here.
But hey, nothing ventured, nothing gained, right?
If you are like me (oh no!) and arrive via an RSS feed which references http://, you get no lock thingy in the address bar. If you make a new feed with https:// you get the cool lock. This is probably obvious to web guys, but I feel pretty special for noticing that.
I’ve installed a plugin that will hopefully redirect things to the secured https.
