> Ghost is just Wordpress for people who think Wordpress is uncool for some reason. Use Wordpress.

hi my job used to be unfucking exploited wordpress servers :delet:
@Moon I hate wordpress so much

If you're not a high expert, you pretty much gotta not install or check your plug-ins a lot to see if they become not updated because even a fucking image carousel can be exploited

@coolboymew @Moon I bet learning PHP and MySQL and just rolling your own backend is actually easier than WordPress.

@xianc78 @Moon if you're a programmer, probably. Just build your own shit at this point because there's a literal army of bots checking for Wordpress stuff. It's not even manual hacking most of the time, it's bots searching for known vulnerability. I installed AIDE32 to check the folders and would see WORDMAN.php dropped in image folder, which opened a shell on the server

And if you don't know jack, then you're just asking to be exploited

Such a fucking terrible state of affair

This is why I complain about easy web makers not existing anymore, because you don't need fucking wordpress for mostly static websites

Literally just use any word processor. I'm not even kidding. I used to see small business sites using Microsoft Word all the time (you can tell by the generator meta tag). Contrary to popular believe, simple sites don't turn people off. Ugly and unreadable sites do. The only thing you truly need is a container div or table that separates the content from the background, and you instantly have a professional looking website right there.

@xianc78 @Moon Word is too limiting compared to a proper program for it where you could also go in the code, the problem is that there's no middle currently. It's either fuck you take our CMS or code it like a professional or do it on Word/Libre Office with basically no fucking actual web support
