Update on the new blog.

Yes dear readers, I am still alive. I decided to post an update to let you know how things are going with the new blog I am working on setting up. This will be a two part post. Part 1 will be the update, Part 2 will answer the question of just what I am doing with this expansion.

Part 1: Things are going good for the blog in development that I am working on. And to share a bit of information, it is not only a blog, it is a full website which I will be able to upload files to. This could make it easier to spread my blog around and help my readers even more. While I do not have a date on when I will consider it fit for mass reading, look for announcements in about a month or so, should things go to plan. In a few weeks, I might give a link to the website to a few select readers who have played an active role in some way in the development and improvement of this blog. To those readers who may or may not be selected, watch closely.

Part 2: Some of you may be thinking about why I am expanding at all. Why can't I be happy with two platforms? The answer may seem simple on the surface, but it is actually quite deep. So let me see if I can put it in a way that most will be able to understand and relate to.

As quite a few long time readers of my blog know all too well, malware is a sizable issue that will only get bigger if computer users are not informed. But if enough users are informed, the severity of the issue can be reduced and at one point, will even go away. But to do this, there needs to be massive penetration of the information on the internet. This is why I am systematically making my blog available on more platforms. The more unique readers my blog gets, the more people there are that will share that information on. This is why on my blogspot, I have a license from the Creative Commons that states that users that read my blogspot blog can share that information.

But relying on platforms and readers alone will not spread the information internationally. When the time is right, I will choose volunteers. Volunteers who will, if they would like to, spread the information around. And those that are multilingual will be a large help in this. This is because no translation software that I know of can detect and translate everything in the tone that it was in the original language. Native speakers and multilingual can therefore do the job of translating my blog better then any machine can.

And, in addition, I intend to link all of my blogs, old and new, together in some way. The main goal with this will be to create one big family of blogs, and nothing will ever be the same. And although this plan will take years to fully put into place, I feel that it must be done if we are to rid the internet of malware.

If you are still reading, you likely hate malware and want to see it gone from the internet and from everywhere. So my question for you is: What are you going to do to make it happen?

Thanks for reading. As always, I invite readers to comment with any questions or comments below.
