Blog security for beginners
While reading ProBlogger’s "Value Blogging" today, Darren touched on something that really made me think. Alot of the Blog Security readers are fairly technical but what about those who arent?
The whole idea behind BlogSecurity is to be a value based blog where we not only share ideas, and practical know-how but also tools and resources for bloggers.
One of my great concerns at the moment is the ability to transfer BlogSecurity’s growing knowledge-base into something that new and less-technical bloggers can use.
I was in a meeting this week trying to explain to a PR group the weaknesses in corporate BlackBerry deployment. It took alot of effort to drop the jargon and get onto their level so that I get the message across.
With this said, perhaps a series of articles for beginner bloggers would be the way forward? What about a road map of resources? Perhaps BlogSec should provide a secure blog hosting environment where all our tips, tricks and tools are already implemented?
I am sure we may implement parts of this in time to come, but me thinks the principle for niche’ bloggers is not to get carried away with ourselves and forget for whom the content is designed.

Yes! I read you, even though most of my security concerns are taken care of by TypePad — but I’d sure like to understand more of what you tell us.
Just found your site from wordpress.org and I think that the more you write the more people will hear about your site. I followed a story from Wordpress so obviously there are more people looking for help in this area. You can’t assume everyone knows alot when they arrive on the site.
I think beginner/non-tech stuff would be a great idea. Of course, it’s hard to do some of this stuff without getting technical, but people can certainly learn.
Small Potato, a WordPress theme designer and all-around cool dude, is creating a blog hosting service. Perhaps you could contact him regarding a secure hosting package for WordPress as a way to prove the concept.
