We have seen colossal success since the opening of BlogSecurity and we have had some wonderful feedback and contributions. It is excellent to see bloggers and fanatics so interested in Security. Germany have been especially interested in the wp-scanner as well as many others.
A number of you have sent in some really positive feedback regarding what we have been putting out there and we are very grateful for this and we have given and will continue to give credit to those wonderful people.
I don’t want to spoil the surprise but we have another free service coming up that will absolutely blow your socks off; Philipp Heinze is helping is get the project off the ground so look out for feedback soon.
We wanted to put out a "request for comments" post, to ask you the reader what content you would like to see on BlogSecurity. Is it more statistics? Is it more security tips and hardening guides? Is it more interviews with awesome people like Stefan Esser, you tell us. Please leave a comment, or if you prefer the private approach drop us a letter via the contact form.
Thanks again to all who continue to motivate this great blog.

The answer would be yes (as in “Yes, I would like to see more of all three options”). :-)
RST, heh… ok then :)
When I first started reading this site, how I saw it developing in my mind was sort of an average-joe-blogger’s guide to security which would keep track of blog security vulnerabilties by describing them simply and giving whenever possible a fix/solution simple enough for most to understand. In other words, a way for people to keep up on security issues for their blogs without having to subscribe to bugtraq, security feeds, etc, find advisories relating to them, and then be able to read/understand them like a penn-tester would. There’s been some of that since then but not terribly much and I think it would be great to have something of the sort as a section on this blog.
You’ve shown you’re not just limited to that though and I think you should keep going with any sort of posts/projects/interviews that raise awareness and draw more people into the circle of those interested in trying to work on solutions that could make the situation better. That is part of the goal, correct?
I think people might appreciate more how-to guides on little things they can do to minimize chances of getting hacked, etc.
BTW, one of the oddities of blogging is that if you specifically ask for comments/feedback suddenly nobody has anything to say (well, except for me).

Jason, I think providing articles and information for the average blogger is definately part of our goals, and yes, requests for comments are often not successful but good chaps like yourself always leave behind a pearl of wisdom :)
