The website was feeling a bit "insecure" for a brief time this afternoon, sorry about that.

SSL certificates have to be renewed every 90 days (at least the inexpensive ones I can afford do). If your host makes an error during renewing and installing the new one? You get security errors. Should be all fixed now, my apologies.

Note that the security certificate verifies that the info is transmitted securely. It doesn't actually change the settings.

And, as always keep in mind that there's really no personal info here for anyone to steal. Can't get addresses and credit cards from our database, we never ask for that in the first place.

It's kind of like being the only person in a 500 mile radius, and having to lock the car to prevent theft.

I delayed getting one for a long time due to the cost, maintenance, problems with errors, for example photos hosted on other sites but linked here.

Finally, I had no choice, since the browsers are now so obnoxious about warning if the page isn't secure that most folks leave when they see the warnings. So now all the site have them, and today's little hiccup has been the only problem so far, aside from added cost and effort.
