Awesome!

WP dominates in both usage and attacks, so you want to make sure and secure it as best as possible. I don't know which host you went with, but make sure they proactively block malicious traffic, have good firewalls setup, scan for threats, and apply security patches automatically. Ideally, they do daily backups in the event something goes rouge with your site, you can easily just roll back to a good working version. I'm personally not a fan of wp, but at the very least be sure to keep it updated (including whatever plugins you install). I think they offer auto updates as well, so you may want to look into that. No idea what you will be using it for (adult / mainstream / blog), but there's tons of plugins and designs already available that will allow you to do just about anything with it without much knowledge.

You may want to restrict access to admin login based on your IP. If you don't have a dedicated IP, and it changes frequently, you can always use a wildcard. I'm not sure what you got cursor for, but you can probably ask it to write up some code for that, or ask your host, or pm me and I'll send you something you can add. I know you didn't ask for any suggestions but thought I would offer a few basic tips to help. Good job and good luck!

I wonder what grandma has to say about it?
