Glipho

About a month ago, though I could not give you the exact date, I embarked on a new journey in my blogging career. Little did I know that the blog I first intended to be a mirror to this blog would become a blog in it's own right.

It all started in Late march. I had just finished posting a new blog post and posting about it on Google+ when after a few minutes, I saw the one comment that would change my blogging career forever. From Glipho's profile on Google+, I saw the following text in praise of my blog: "So cool! Really enjoyed the post! Your blog is always such an awesome read! Would you be interested in sharing it on Glipho?"

At first I was skeptical, as someone in my line of work tends to be. But after a brief excursion through my favorite search engine for answers, I found that it was for real. I opened up a sandboxed browser and navigated to the Glipho website. In the sandbox, malware could not infect me from a website even if it was infected. Nothing that is suspect on my radar is going to infect me! Once I found that the website was real and was not harboring malware, I took a quick look at some of the posts on Glipho and found that there was no way a robot could have written posts like those. So I decided to take a plunge, I replied to the comment and asked how I sign up. The reply came quickly with a link on where to sign up. I signed up and got prompted to import my blog posts from another blog if I had one. Of course I wanted to do that, so I did.

It was a bit of a slow week the first week I spent blogging for Glipho, but things gradually picked up after a week. I realized that a blog on Glipho was not simply going to be a mirror to my main blog, it was going to get it's own readership while I did very little to promote it. It was like a get more readers free card, and one that I was not going to waste when the goal of my blog is to stop malware.
