Fair enough. :)

I just feel like the term "security" gets abused. I walked by somebody
blathering on about how businesses aren't using the iphone "because
it's not secure" on my way to grab coffee this morning. I resisted the
temptation to engage in conversation. Security is process; security is
confidentiality, availability, integrity. Security is ponies and
unicorns. Any advice we give here on how to "securely" run a blog will
either be detailed, contextual and dated or it will be timeless and
useless.

To run a blog securely, pick a project you trust, run directly from
their release, and engage in their community. At a minimum "engage"
means be on their announce list. There. That was relatively timeless
and relatively useless.

Cheers,
