For instance, you can use a client-side certificate to log into web-sites without passwords etc. Worth a look perhaps.

I appreciate people teaching me new things everyday. I am just starting out with this blog so I am not quite ready to splash out on a SSL certificate yet, but it is definately something I will consider at a later stage. For anyone else who might be interested, I have found that: With Firefox 3, I have SSL connection to My Dashboard, but so far only when I click on a link in an email sent from WordPress.com, then manually changing http:// to https://. If you log in by typing https://wordpress.com/wp-login.php in the address bar, the SSL connection will break after you log in, but you can get back to https:// by typing in the 's'.

Once you buy a SSL certificate, you can access your site by going to https://www.test.com. You could also go to your login page by going to https://www.test.com/wp-admin. Now this is all secure. Once you purchased your ssl cert for website, you can also get a plugin (search google) to force ssl for all login pages. It's not that wordpress doesn't support https, but you need to do it for the whole website or domain name. Let me know if that works -securepla.net To get https on your own wordpress site you need to buy a SSL certificate.
