The Watchman's Blog

About

This is a custom, Non-Wordpress blog. One thing I don't like about Wordpress are the security issues. I custom code everything from the ground up incorporating the latest security measures to prevent hacking. If the site is coded correctly the first time you don't need to constantly update the source code to keep it secure. The blog posts, post reader comments, books for sale and other information on this site are pulled from a database and I created a custom back end and Content Management System to manage the entire site. The site also incorporates Amazon Merchant Account Integration to sell books. The books are added to the site from the CMS in the same manner as the blog posts.
