Blog Perfume -

I have been thinking about doing a series on how to protect your blog and the host it is running on for people who are self-hosting there wordpress on Linux.

Do you think there are enough bloggers running their own Linux hosts that such a series would be useful ?

Thanks,
Erik

Hi Erik,

I think there are small number of bloggers who are running their own Linux hosts. And also, I think there are some bloggers who would like to run their own Linux host but do not know how.

Therefore, the series on how to protect your blog and the host on Linux would be useful for quite a number of people I think. :)
