With all due respect sir, if you're collecting data (username, password, etc.) from your users then SSL is a nessecity though it doesn't guarantee total security.

That Nairaland isn't using it shouldn't be the yardstick for advising the OP againt using one. Mind you SSL is now considered a factor when ranking a website on major search engines so a blog needs one too.

Cheers

a factor out of many factors for ranking. yea it will help if the op's site collects and stores visitors username and password

It will not hurt to have one if it will come at no cost to the op.

Cheers.
