When I said the users care enough, I meant they care enough for the content of the site to invest some extra work and get around all the browser warnings instead of turning away immediately. This is all I can read from the statistics I have. I don't have any idea about how much the visitors trusted the encryption layer. Why do you assume that all users that clicked through the warnings to get to the content of the blog trusted in the encryption layer? Unfortunately, you totally missed the point of what I said here.

Don't know that encryption is worthless without authentication 2. and couldn't care less OK, in this case the encryption really isn't necessary, so I would accept that cert temporarily, too... Consider getting a CACert. Those are a compromise of being cheap and having a bit of authentication... Short correction:
