Summary

There was a lot going on in this chapter. First, we focused on social media integration--the bread and butter of all modern websites. Next, there was the topic of podcasting and a brief guide to getting started (how to configure your feeds, what plugins to use, and so on). Finally, we talked about HTTPS and SSL certificates--what those things are, their importance for your website's security (and the security of your visitors' personal information), and how to enable them.

In the next chapter, we'll discuss the topic of developing your own plugins and widgets--what the basics are and how to get your head around them. We'll also introduce you to the REST API.
