Domain Extension + The 28th



Domain Extension!

As my 3 year University course finishes, I decided to take a quick look at where this blog started. At the time of writing, it has been 9 months since the blog started. I was debating whether to revert to hackingtheperimeter.blogspot.com or whether to extend the domain name for another year.

Whilst the cost of this site is very low, the domain name and whois charges cost approx $15 per year. Statistics seem to show that I get hits from the USA and UK mainly and if I was to hazard a guess, i'd say I have 100+ regular readers. If those 100 readers clubbed together $0.15 each, that would be another year's domain costs paid.

Now, this isn't a post to beg you for your cash - I've just paid for a years renewal, because when I started this blog, I wasn't expecting 1 regular reader. To have at least 100 is amazing and I was more than happy to pay for another year of Hacking The Perimeter.

28th Day

One or two readers have let me know that they would much prefer me to post on a specific date rather than whenever I feel like it. I know some of my readers use RSS feed, but some don't. Therefore, I am now going to post once a month, on the 28th day of that month.

So....you're telling us there's only going to be 12 posts a year?!? ......Yes.....from me. That's where YOU come in. I will be asking YOU to write a mid-month article on anything IT-related. It could be cloud-computing, green energy reducing IT equipment, forensics, security, hacking - whatever. Each month there will be an opportunity for a reader to make a post. That means each month there *could* be two posts.

Quality over quanity, folks, quality over quantity!

Thanks for reading. Here's to another year of HackingThePerimeter!
