I started a dumb blog about podcast reviews because I like podcasts. Yes I'm probably 10 years too late to start a blog but better late than never I guess. Feel free to criticize or whatever!

Also I have exactly one post so there's not a wealth of content. But looking forward to adding a steady stream of content without burning myself out. Wish me luck!

You have an issue with your SSL cert

doesn't this require me buying an SSL certificate though...? any recommendations for cheap and easy ones

letsencrypt.com do free SSL certs but the negligible SEO boost is probably not worth you putting in the effort to get it all set up.

The http version of the site works fine so just make sure you link to that version when you're promoting. Browsers won't switch to https unless your site tells them to so you should be fine.

Noticed you have some PHP errors here:

You'll prob need to open boxes.php (either in Wordpress using the theme editor, via the file manager in your hosting control panel, or via FTP) and see what's going on on line 557. Post it here if you want.

e: if you're worried people might still end up trying to visit the https version for some reason then you can redirect all https to http by adding this to an ".htaccess" file in your site's root directory (where index.php is). Wordpress might have already created the file for you.

code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteRule (.*) [url]http://%[/url]{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
