As fun as the web is it’s just as dangerous, especially for the blogger.
“Security” can involve anything from your data being compromised, your information being lost (or stolen), your identity being taken, personal information released, etc. It can also be related directly to your hardware and where all of that “stuff” is ultimately being stored.
Being a blogger makes you an even bigger target, and the “bigger” you are the more of a target you become. Blogging systems can be hacked, compromised, or worse.
What you need to make sure you’re doing is keeping all your software up to date, backing up your data, making sure you’re discerning about the information you store on your blog and your server, good passwords, and who you’re hosting with (if they are legit).
Taking things for granted is pretty much the worst place for you to be as a blogger and even the smallest bit of information is important. There’s a lot to cover, but here’s a good start.
Remember, online security as a blogger is, for the most part, your responsibility.
