I don’t know about you, but I often encounter sites where a valid e-mail address is required before you can get whatever it is you came there for; a tutorial, a free download, whatever. (Personally I don’t consider it a FREE download if I am paying for it with valuable information, i.e. my e-mail address!)
You know how it goes, first you have to supply a valid e-mail address. Then, they either send a validation link on which you have to click or they send your login information to that email address. This is so that they know you actually provided a “real” e-mail address.
After you go through these steps, you are then granted access to the “private” content, which may or may not be worth all the effort. And now they have your email address and you’ll start to get all sorts of unwanted offers from third parties or those horrible promotional newsletters.
I hesitate to use my business e-mail in cases like these, where the value I am getting is an individual item or temporary access. I hate even more to give out my personal e-mail in such cases. I had gone so far as to create a Hotmail address just for these situations!
Luckily for me one of my teachers at College (she taught us the Security part of the program) told me about a site called GuerrillaMail. At GuerrillaMail they will automatically create a temporary e-mail address for you which will stay active for 15 minutes and doesn’t require you to enter a single shred of information.
So, the next time you find yourself in this situation, go to GuerrillaMail and get a FREE e-mail address. The beauty of this arrangement is you get the automatically generated email address on the spot and then you automatically go to the inbox for that email address – no login required and no signup. No more creating a Yahoo! or Hotmail account just to serve as a junk email address.
Whether you have a website, a company intranet, or just a bunch of client files on your laptop, you’ll want to keep that data secure.

I do agree with all of the ideas you’ve presented for your post.
They’re really convincing and will definitely work.
Nonetheless, the posts are very brief for starters.
Could you please prolong them a little from next time?
Thanks for the post.
I usually do not drop a comment, however after reading through some of the remarks on Digital Insite
That is a very good tip particularly to those new to the blogosphere.
Brief but very accurate info… Many thanks for sharing this one.

Hi there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing several weeks of hard work due to no backup.
Do you have any solutions to stop hackers?
I feel for you – having a site hacked is every developer’s nightmare!
I harden my WordPress sites right from the install – here are some of the steps I take:
1. NEVER use the one-click install, always go manual and name the database something other than the default.
2. Change the default table prefix to something other than wp_
3. Change the login from wp-admin to something else
4. Get a good security plugin and keep it updated
5. Keep EVERYTHING updated, especially WordPress itself.
Bummer to have been hacked, but I hope these tips will help you to prevent it happening again.
I have to thank you for the efforts you’ve put in writing this site.
I’m hoping to see the same high-grade blog posts by you in the
future as well. In truth, your creative writing abilities has motivated me to get my own blog now ;

My spouse and I stumbled over here coming from a different web page and thought I
might check things out. I like what I see so i am just following you.
Look forward to looking into your web page yet again.
Everything is very open with a very clear clarification of the issues.
It was really informative. Your website is very
helpful. Thanks for sharing!
I’m curious to find out what blog platform you’re using?
I’m having some minor security problems with my latest blog and I would like to find something more
safe. Do you have any solutions?
I use WordPress on a self-hosted service. I have several steps that i use to ensure the security of my site as well as those of my clients.
I have listed some of them above, but will re-print them here:
1. NEVER use the one-click install, always go manual and name the database something other than the default.
2. Change the default table prefix to something other than wp_
3. Change the login from wp-admin to something else
4. Get a good security plugin and keep it updated
5. Keep EVERYTHING updated, especially WordPress itself.
Heyy there! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established
blog. Is it hard to set up your own blog?
I’m nnot very techincal but I ccan figure things out pretty quick.I’m thinking
about making my own but I’m not sure where to start.Do you have any points or suggestions?
Thank you
Heya exceptional website! Does running a blog such as this take
a great deal of work? I’ve no understanding of coding but I was hoping to start my own blog in the near future.
Anyway, should you have any recommendations or tips for new blog owners please share.
I know this is off subject however I simply wanted to ask.
Kudos!
I’m extremely impressed with your writing skills and also
with the layout on your blog. Is this a paid theme or did you modify it yourself?
Either way keep up the nice quality writing, it’s rare to
see a great blog like this one these days.
We absolutely love your blog and find the majority of your post’s to be exactly what I’m looking for. can you offer guest writers to write content available for you? I wouldn’t mind publishing a post or elaborating on a few of the subjects you write about here. Again, awesome weblog!

Appreciating the persistence you put into your website and detailed information you offer.
It’s great to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the same old rehashed material.
Fantastic read! I’ve bookmarked your site
and I’m adding your RSS feeds to my Google account.
I found http://digitalinsite.ca at 21 place in google’s search results.
You should change your SEO strategy. Have you tried links pyramid?
It is very effective strategy to rank websites after latest panda
update but i prefer to outsorce this time consuming
task. If you want to rank high search in google for:

Hi – I am happy that you found me on Google. I think from your comment that you were trolling for potential clients for your services.
People who are searching to find actual web design services in my area usually comment that they found me on page 1 of Google, often with several entries there.
Thanks for your concern, but links pyramid is just like any other pyramid scheme – a scam at best and a rip-off at worst. Either way, it doesn’t work, and can actually get the site penalized by google.
