I know that most of you have waited long enough for me to post the results of my contest.  Some of you guys are still leaving comments in the contest post and I’m sorry I could not reply to all of them.

Bloggers today have become very popular on the Internet, such as the legendary John Chow, Darren Rowse, and Shoemoney. With many of them creating rich content that attracts over thousands of readers, most bloggers have forgotten one of the most important aspects in blogging and also crucial to the blog itself, which is security. Many of you may not know too much about security in blogs nor know how to protect your blogs. As a geek in computers, I will point out a few things you can do to protect your blog and prevent from ending up like some with their blog hacked and more.  You may have read the guest post by Ashley that slightly touched the topic of computer security, but this post should elaborate a bit more for you.

There have been a few posts lately where a guest poster and I talked about networking, but we didn’t really elaborate much into it. You could take a look at my “Why Is Twitter So Great” and “Marketing Your Blog Across The Net posts.” Networking for bloggers basically means that as a blogger, you’re going out or staying online to communicate with other fellow bloggers.

Well guys, the contest is now coming to an end. In about 1 hour 20minutes, I will be closing the doors for any new entries into the contest for a chance to win a MacBook Air or $100. Since my wife and I just started summer school, it has been hard for us to keep up with things, so we ask you guys to please give us a few days to verify and count the rest of the entries before we post the winners.
