I’m becoming more aware of what I pay GoDaddy to host the website, and they wanted another $79 to add SSL.  I need to add that because I’m getting questions about the ‘Not Secure’ warning that Google tagged me with.

That made me do research and learn more about coding – and I resent that. I really don’t want to learn any more about coding than I’ve already forgotten. I found a way (through Google and YouTube, it pains me to say) to add the required security in the least painful way, and expect to lose the scarlet letter tagging in a day or so.

I’m adding SSL to the website using CloudFlare, which will sit right on top of my GoDaddy site without having to spend $79 to add SSL through GoDaddy. It’s a shared SSL and I really don’t know what that means other than mission accomplished.

When it comes time to renew my DOMAIN hosting, I may even find it to be less expensive with CloudFlare.

Without adding this feature, google would eventually block my site out entirely. Kind of makes sense, so I took care of it.

Look for a seamless change in the next few days if I’ve done this correctly.

Fly Safe.

Fully retired now, unless something interesting comes along. I’ve enjoyed a lucrative career as an Electrical Engineer, Certified Software Solutions Developer, and Project Manager. An excellent and fun career that I’m very proud of. I began flying commercially in Dash-8 aircraft for Piedmont Airlines, and moved on to instruct in the Gulfstream 280; WestWind; and Astra jet aircraft. I’ve also been blessed with a type rating in the B-25 bomber in a fortunate turn of events. My wife, Beverly, and I currently own and operate a beautifully restored PA30 Twin Comanche, which we use to explore the CONUS.
