Just got an email from Automattic announcing that WordPress.com and Jetpack plans will be available with a 20% discount until March 10th, 2019.

If you’re looking for super-comfortable hosting solution for your blog, you should check out WordPress.com. I’m usually self-hosting and so Jetpack offering makes more sense for me:

  • blog backups
  • improved performance
  • free image hosting
  • Akismet spam protection
  • Traffic and visitors stats
  • Activity log

I’ve started blogging much more regularly in 2019 and find activity log super-useful for keeping track of all changes made to the blog – plugin updates, posts and pages updates, new posts and image uploads.

In short, both WordPress.com and Jetpack come highly recommended. If you’re in the market for them – check them out. Don’t forget to use the DISCOUNT20 code for 20% off any prices at the checkout!

Challenge Yourself to Post Daily

February 19, 2019 by 2 Comments

You might now that I’ve spent most of 2018 centralizing my technical blogs – migrating key content over to Unix Tutorial blog and stopping regular updates on Solaris Blog, Nuxified and Desktop Virtualization.

In 2019 I decided to aim for a daily posting on Unix Tutorial:Screen Shot 2019-02-19 at 10.24.10.png and it definitely looks and feels a lot better according to website traffic:

January isn’t the best month, because traiditionally it gets highest traffic of the year anyway, but we’re halfway into February and it seems traffic is still growing!

We’ll see how long I can keep this up, but daily posts is among the best decisions and changes I made in my blogging in a long time.
