I wanted for the longest time to both convert\u00a0this blog from http to https. Computers are ever more powerful and my site is pretty simple – it should not have been a big deal.\u00a0 Not only that but with the rise of the firm Let’s Encrypt<\/a> whose mission is to make encrypted connections to the World Wide Web ubiquitous.<\/p>\n

Yet, I was not certain how to configure my site to use the certificate from Let’s Encrypt – because of that I procrastinated again and again.\u00a0 I may have never done it except for Google’s desire to see this happen.\u00a0 I did write about that not that long ago in ‘The carrot and the stick<\/a>‘.<\/p>\n

I was lucky that my ISP actually had done the work and by doing a bit of configuration using their GUI my web server now supported secure http.\u00a0\u00a0 The process was a bit of trial and error so I didn’t write about it.<\/p>\n

It was only recently, well like today, that I realized my journey is not yet done.\u00a0 I have a certificate but my website is not exactly trusted by Firefox or Google Chrome.<\/p>\n

Firefox suggests that the problem is that the connection will only be partially encrypted.\u00a0 This was also clarified as perhaps the images were the culprit. I have spent some time changing my image references from http to https but have not yet had much luck.<\/p>\n

I will be continuing to try and get perfect security on this site and will keep you all informed of my progress as it occurs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
