This section gives you all some useful tech/cyber information & resources I have found critical for this blog and essential for keeping you more secure when going online.

Tailwind

Ok, I can’t talk about promoting my blog on Pinterest without talking about Tailwind, when I started up my blog again I was pinning manually or using the native scheduling capability within Pinterest. Sadly I was not getting the views I needed or wanted and it was time-consuming. So after reading a few how-to guides on improving traffic to your Pinterest account (thanks Fin Savvy Panda), they were all talking about Tailwind and Tailwind Communities. I signed up and as you can see my traffic started to improve, really from day one, 24th September 2024 for me. I am now automating between 5-10 pins a day on Pinterest, I hope this trend continues.

As you can see I have just over 100k impressions in 60 days and my current 30 days impressions are around 77k with 3.7k Engagements and 422 Outbound clicks.

Protecting your Computers

A must-have when going on the internet, anti-virus and anti-malware software, you’re not just protecting devices—you’re safeguarding your family’s privacy, financial security, and peace of mind. It’s an essential layer of defence in a world where digital threats are constantly evolving, ensuring that your children can explore the internet safely while you maintain control over your family’s digital security.

For anti-virus software, I installed Trend Micro (click link to purchase) on all the family computers. I also wanted separate anti-malware protection so I went with Malwarebytes (click link to purchase), again I installed it on all family computers. Trend Micro also provides this protection but I wanted a product that was dedicated to stopping malware.
