If you missed the past two days, welcome to The Best Day to Blog Experiment; you are now a participant.  For the first time readers, I’ve come across many stories about when is the best day/time to get the most readership exposure from a blog post and I figured I’d do my own little brief, non-scientific experiment.  The idea is to blog everyday this week, track the results and report back next week.  Thanks for becoming a statistic.  Yesterday, I noted that it was important to have a good opening line to grab your readers, yet I’ve repeated this exact...

If you missed yesterday’s blog entry, welcome to The Best Day to Blog Experiment; you are now a participant.  As I mentioned just one day ago, I’ve come across many stories about when is the best day/time to get the most readership exposure from a blog post and I figured I’d do my own little brief, non-scientific experiment to see.  The idea is to blog everyday this week, track the results and report back next week.  Thanks for becoming a statistic.   Tuesday, which can feel like a Monday to some folks – just read those Facebook entries...

Readers, distinguished bloggers, various feeds - A year ago this week, I crossed over into double-digit blog entries (a whopping 10 stories at the time but a relative blog newcomer) and was wondering what magical rant would make this Blog Go to Eleven.  Fidgeting with the keyboard and watching the blinking curser as nothing came to mind, I decided to dedicate January 30th as ‘Blog About Your Blog Day.’   The day that all bloggers would share stories, tips and other musings about their own blog.  Since I don’t see it as a #trendingtopic on Twitter, it might not have stuck. ...

Aloha and welcome to the post-blog report.  Over the last 5 months, I’ve been writing a blog series called, 26 Short Topics about Security and wanted to share some observations.  First, I went about this since there are so many IT challenges when it comes to security and it’s virtually impossible to cover them all.  Plus, I’m always looking for interesting stats and stories pertaining to security and thought I’d gather them up in one place.  It’s sort of a 2009 ‘Security Greatest Hits’ (or Misses, if you’re a Devo fan).  If you are a blogger and sometimes...

One of my favorite Security writers, Bruce Schneier, had an interesting entry last week called Reacting to Security Vulnerabilities where he discusses the recent reports about the security flaw in the SSL protocol and how we as users should relax and essentially, ‘do nothing.’  “What?!? – Do nothing??”  Yup, and he has some good reasons why.  Usually, new exploits, threats, breaches and the typical security stuff that garners the headlines, makes security folks jump.  Jump to search the internet for anything related, jump to see if our systems are infected or vulnerable, jump to put an action plan in place...

Social Networks are now part of our society for better or worse.  It has allowed us to both connect with current friends and find pals from the past; it offers businesses another outlet for marketing and sales; it allows us to collaborate, discuss and converse on any topic imaginable.  And due to it’s popularity, it also gives thieves and other criminal types an inroad to deliver malware, steal identities, spam, stalk, and many other nasty things to expose personal and corporate information.  Since so many people are on a single platform, where trust is somewhat inherent, it’s much easier to...
