    I can still work on my website while it’s in Bullet Proof Mode, correct?  I don’t need to be in Maintenance Mode, do I?  If so, what is Maintenance Mode used for?

    Yes, you can work on your site without being in Maintenance Mode.  Maintenance Mode could be used in these 3 scenarios.

    1.  You are making major design changes to your website and you do not want visitors to see your website until those design changes are completed.

    2.  There is a coding problem on your website and it is not displaying correctly to visitors.  You can take your site Offline while you fix the problem.

    3.  The worst case scenario – your website has been hacked so you immeditately put your site in Maintenance Mode to prevent external Browser access to your website/remote script execution while you scramble to change all of your passwords:  FTP, WordPress Login and DB password.
