So, I just used this for my blog: http://tamesequels.blogspot.com, and will shortly be posting a digital literacy lab for this. Basically, if you want to put a blog feed as a widget on another blog, you can customize one for free on this website. It's really easy and it gives you a code at the end of the customization to post. Check out my blog to see one. It's the "My Photography" section, and you'll see how it posts everything from that blog really nicely. A great tool for making your website alive.

One of the simplest ways to gain access to your information is through the use of a Brute Force Attack. This is accomplished when a hacker uses a specially written piece of software to attempt to log into a site using your credentials.

And how fast could this be done? Well, that depends on three main things, the length and complexity of your password, the speed of the hacker's computer, and the speed of the hacker's Internet connection.

Now, I could go on for hours and hours more about all sorts of ways to compromise your security and generally make your life miserable - but 95% of those methods begin with compromising your weak password. So, why not just protect yourself from the start and sleep better at night?
