Gestione WP: Come bloccare un sito WordPress

Since this July I will be writing guest posts on Gestione WP a prestigious Italian website about WordPress. The main topic of my posts will be as usual safety and security over web sites, especially about WP. The language will be my native language, Italian. Even if here I usually write in english, for both passion and exercise, I know that the most of my followers are still of course Italians.
So, enjoy,

Cosa offriamo:
5. Ask for help.
Ask for help man, it’s awkward, especially if you pretended to be the expert in some way before, but in the end it’s the short way.
But where to ask for help? Anywhere! You can get inspired by anyone while solving a problem, it’s not mandatory to ask an expert. It’s like going for a trip in a place you don’t know (like, let’s say Rome), you never know if the guy you are about to ask for directions is someway an expert or a tourist like you, you also don’t know if he even speaks your language, but you ask for help anyway. Why do you ask?
Get rid of your pride and ask. I’m not the first one saying this but I felt that it was important.
See you next time,
Niccolo’
First, I have to admit that this blog super “Zen” serie is something I make for my own interest. It still happens that this laws are a bit unordered in my mind so writing them down helps me a lot finding my “Zen” way out of problems.
Second, I’m glad to tell you that finally I bought a motor bike, an old and classy enduro bike, date of matriculation: 17th February ’89, this date kicked me hard when I read it on the papers, but in the end this “Date with destiny” was the trigger to my decision. The bike’s engine works like a charm, but there are still a lot of fixes and improvements to make. So wish me luck and to be able to follow my own “jokey laws”.
The last week I spoke about keeping the move going, it’s good for your mental health. So now lets say that you had your break, a little pause to the “game of the fixes” that now have to end. What to do next?
4. Work around.
Working around is like improvisation, it requires practice and attitude.
The third rule is all about dynamism.
Don’t stare at me with that look, I’m not your life coach and I know it sounds really obvious.
Also, I know that in the previous post I promised you that the third law would have talked about “working around stuff”, but after a week I’ve changed my mind and I’ve decided that this topic should come first. That’s because dynamism have always been very important to me, it saved me from many headaches.
Cool off anyway, I’m no sportsman, so I’m not talking about physical exercise, listen up:
3. Keep moving.
Very simple, no?
We’ve already talked about the first law, learning trough errors, build up experience!
The second law, comes as a consequence of my really long experience in making mistakes. That’s it, really long!
The second law states about prevention:
2. Don’t create the problem
There are many creative and, more or less, funny ways to create a problem:
A long time ago, when I was fourteen my dad gifted me with a book: Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.
I was very young and now as it always happens to me: the memories of the story inside the book are slowly fading away and mixing whit my own experience, but this book is still something I’m really bonded to and you’re going to know why reading trough.
To be honest my experience with motorcycles lacks of exciting maintenance stories but, on the other hand speaking of websites I have much much more to tell.
Fixing websites is my work and my own way to feel that kind of pleasure that only the solution of an hard equation would give.
