Sergeant Sandy and Blogger/Blogspot Security

 Hullo Blogger pals. Today I am going to review a feature of Blogger Security which you may not be familiar with - SSL security - a.k.a. https:// (vs. http://). Blogger introduced SSL back in 2015 to help all of our blogs be more secure...

Lately though, I've noticed a few hiccups when I click to visit a pal's blog...

Don't worry... this is a super quick and easy fix!!!

Ready? OK... let's go... First... let me show you the hiccup. When I'm in my list of blogs from my friends (in the blogger control panel)... I click on a blog to read and...

I get this notice. Have you seen this notice??

It's a redirect notice telling me that I am going to an http:// site

See... there's not "s" behind the http://

And... if you look at the url in the address bar... You see a sign that says "Not secure"... if you double click on the address... it will show just http://...

Compare with my blog... see the padlock? And the https:/// that's what we're looking for...

So, let's get there... First... go to your blogger control panel/dashboard and click on Settings...

That will open up some options. Under Basic... look for HTTPS heading....

And just slide it to the right... like this... Check the bottom off the page to see if you need to save and... you're done!!

See... that wasn't so hard... and now all your blogger comments and stuff are secure...

I hope this was helpful...

P.S. Not picking on my pal Adjin!! His was just the blog that I had open when I grabbed screenshots!
