Hello World! As a comfortably poor, permanently disabled & totally BLIND scientist, I can only utilize a free WordPress site that doesn’t include SSL certifications, preventing some persons from visiting my SCIENCE blog. Well, my 52nd birthday is coming up…
Specifically, I only want a SSL certificate on my WordPress blog, however, only the WordPress Personal option is available, which costs real money, and has much more features I will probably never use, as my official RETIREMENT from social media is still scheduled for September 30, 2022.
My 52nd birthday is now just over a month away, and I’m wishing I could upgrade my SCIENCE blog on WordPress…
As of this writing, is it absolutely necessary for my SCIENCE blog to have a SSL certificate for accessing with “https” instead of “http”? I cannot afford to pay for a annual commitment when I plan on quitting in six months. My disability income is due elsewhere. If someone wishes to upgrade my SCIENCE blog, then I would be very grateful! Thanks in advance!
Thanks for reading my latest blog post! Have a Great Day!

A Generation X, Filipino-American US expat, living in The Philippines, whom was naturally-born in Boston, grew up mostly in Seattle, some in Chicago, and have lived in Anchorage & San Francisco. Became permanently-disabled in 2003 due to health-related illness, ending my moonlighting career as an independent private investigator in the USA.
RETIRED independent developer of computing & electronics technologies after 35 wonderful years, including 20 wonderful years in GNU/Linux development & 8 wonderful years as an independent embedded systems developer of digital electronics.

Learned 10-finger QWERTY touch-typing on a manual typewriter in 1980 at a US-based elementary school. Mastered 10-finger QWERTY touch-typing without looking at the keyboard in 1986. Now have osteoarthritis in both of my hands from all that touch-typing!
My primary computer programming language is C, which I learned in 1990. My secondary programming language is B.A.S.I.C., which I self-learned in 1982. Prior to my sight-loss, I used to program in LISP/CLISP and Prolog for my early development of artificial intelligence & machine learning programs.
Daily, to compensate/facilitate my sight-loss, I am actively using Apple iOS VoiceOver, Google Android TalkBack and Amazon Fire OS VoiceView screen-readers, in addition to my external Bluetooth QWERTY keyboard and sometimes, my Orbit Writer Braille keyboard, as HOBBIES.
