An expired certificate wastes time for everyone who tries to use it, and 
bypassing it trains people to engage in bad security practices. It may 
encourage people to transmit passwords in the clear or make them more likely to 
be duped by bad certificates that are genuine problems.

A free proper SSL certificate with excellent browser root trust coverage can be 
obtained from https://www.startssl.com/. I generate my own SSL certificates 
with OpenSSL, then submit them to startssl.com for signing. It works well for 
me. The free certificates are good for one year.
