A Defence of a Treatise, Entitled the Gospel of Christ Worthy of All ...
By Andrew Fuller
Perhaps I shall be told that Mr. Brine made an internal revelation the ground of an obligation to believe in Christ.—I suppose he did, when engaged in this controversy; but when engaged with a deist, in the piece referred to, he probably forgot what in other instances had escaped from his pen, and nobly defended the christian religion from IRRATIONALITY or ENTHUSIASM.*
It is somewhat singular, that Mr. B. should charge me with making it the duty of any man to believe without evidence. This nearly amounts to what others have asserted, that I make it incumbent on them to believe a lie. The definition of faith, which I have heretofore given, is the belief of the TRUTH. If truth and falsehood, then, are the same thing, the charge may be well founded, but not otherwise.-If a persuasion of a personal interest in the blessings of the gospel were what denominated us believers, there might be something plausible in Mr. B.'s mode of reasoning; but this he does not pretend to maintain. Dr. Withers appears in some places to maintain this idea, and considers faith, as generally used in scripture, to signify "either an assent to the bible," as containing the history of our Lord, and other important matters; or else, denoting "the knowledge, the assurance of an interest in its present and promised blessings:" (p. 73.) and from p. 153 to 156, he presents us with a long list of scriptures, as if to confirm this second idea of faith; but which evidently only prove what I never thought of doubting, that believers may have a consciousness of their having passed from death unto life, and not that it is this con. sciousness which denominates them believers. Indeed he himself tells us in a note (155) that a man may be a believer without this consciousness. What is it then which constitutes him a believer in that sense which is connected with a title to eternal life? He will hardly assert, that every one who assents to the divine inspiration of the bible is in a state of salvation. And as to
A great deal of Mr. B.'s reasoning tends, in my opinion, rather to degrade a state of primitive purity, than to exalt that in which we are placed through Christ. I cannot perceive that he represents the latter to any better advantage than we do. All the difference is, that he seems to think meanly of supreme love to Goll, as if it were something vastly inferior to that of which Christians are now the subjects. Thus he tells us, from Mr. Charnock, "that a new creature doth exceed a rational creature, considered only as rational, more than a rational doth a brute." (85.) True, but is man in his primitive state to be considered only as rational? Does he not continue to be a rational being, notwithstanding he has lost his primitive purity? Did Mr. Charnock, in the place referred to, mean to represent man in a state of primitive purity as being merely rational? "Adam in a state of innocence, as Dr. Owen observes, besides his natural life, whereby he was a living soul, had a supernatural life with respect to its end, whereby he lived unto God." Discourse on the Holy Spirit, p. 240.
an assurance of being interested in the blessings of the gospel, supposing this were a just idea of faith, he could not be ignorant that I never made it incumbent upon all who hear the gospel: but one should think a man must be a believer before he can be conscious of it, or of any thing in bim that is truly good, or possess any well-grounded persuasion of an interest in Christ; and if so, such a consciousness or persuasion cannot be that which denominates him a believer.
SECTION TENTH.
REPLY TO MR B.'s XII. LETTER, ON DIVINE DECREES, THE USE OF MEANS, PARTICULAR REDEMPTION, &c.
THE objection from divine decrees is to all intents
and purposes GIVEN UP. I had said, 'The destruction of Pharaoh was determined of God to be at the time, place, and manner in which it actually came to pass; and yet who will say that he ought not to have taken the counsel of Moses, and let the people go?' To this Mr. B. replies, "but Pharaoh had an express command to let the people go; therefore he was undoubtedly criminal for not doing it—so it may be said of the rest of the instances produced, and therefore these are nothing to the purpose." (88.). I might ask, then, what would have been to the purpose? The very circumstance of an express command, so far from destroying the propriety of the above instances, is one thing that renders them in point. The question here was not, Is faith a commanded duty? that was discussed elsewhere;* but CAN it be such, consistent with the divine decrees? I undertook to prove that it could, inasmuch as the compliance of Pharaoh and
* In proof that faith in Christ is expressly commanded, the reader is referred to p. 57–45, of the former treatise, and to section the second of this.
Sihon with the messages which were sent them, was a commanded duty notwithstanding the divine decrees concerning them. Mr. B. on the contrary, undertakes to prove that it cannot-that to suppose faith in Christ a commanded duty, must clash with the decrees of God. Now, how does he prove his point? Why, by acknowledging that if the command be express, it may be consistent with those decrees; that is, in other words, by giving up the very point in question. If I understand Mr. B.'s mode of reasoning, it amounts to what is usually called reasoning in a circle. In the contents it is intimated, that faith cannot be a commanded duty, because it is inconsistent with the divine decrees; in the page to which those contents refer, it is suggested to be inconsistent with the divine decrees, because it is not commanded!After all, if the thing itself were inconsistent, no command, however express, could make it other
wise.
Mr. B. here, and in several other places, allows that men ought to use the means, and be diligently concerned about their eternal salvation, to strive to enter in at the strait gate, &c. (88-43.) He has said nothing, however, to inform us how this is more consistent with the doctrine of decrees than an obligation to believe is. But passing this, it is observable, that what one evangelist calls striving to enter, another calls entering;* and indeed it must appear
*Luke xiii. 24. Matt. vii. 13.
very extraordinary if men ought to strive to do that which they are not obliged to do. Farther, using the means of salvation, waiting and praying for a blessing upon them, ought to be attended to either with the heart, or without it. If without it, it will be but poor striving to enter in at the strait gate, far enongh from the sense of the passage just cited, which denotes such a striving as that of a person in an agony; if with it, this amounts to something spiritually good, and shall certainly terminate in salvation.
What our brethren can mean in consistency with their own sentiments, by making it the duty of men, to use the means of salvation, is difficult to say. Mr. B. will not allow it to be a bare attendance, but "a diligent waiting, and seeking of spiritual blessings." (36-43.) And in the exposition upon Isai. xlii. 18. Look, ye blind, &c. the purport of the exhortation is said to be, "that they (unconverted sinners) would make use of their external hearing and sight, which they had, that they might attain to a spiritual hearing and understanding of divine things." (102.) But a real diligent use of means, always implies a true desire after the end. It is an abuse of language to call any thing short of this by that name. Men, continuing wicked, may attend what are properly called the means of grace; but they never attend them as the means of grace. 'Tis impossible a man should use means to obtain that after which he hath no real desire; but a wicked man hath no real desire to be saved from that from which the


Since Google Chrome is obtainable each as a desktop and a cell browser, now we have cut up this text into two sections to make it simpler for you.
One of many largest causes behind the recognition of Chrome is the huge extension support which permits customers to switch Chrome and grant it extra energy. Whereas by default, Google Chrome makes it very straightforward to entry your extension gallery, if you wish to make the method much more friction-less, you possibly can assign keyboard shortcuts to your favourite extensions. For instance, in case you are utilizing "Pocket" as your learn it later service, you possibly can assign a keyboard shortcut which may save articles into Pocket.
That's only one instance to indicate you what you are able to do with keyboard shortcuts. To arrange keyboard shortcuts for Chrome extensions, first go to the extension shortcuts web page (chrome://extensions/shortcuts) and kind in your keyboard shortcut for various extensions. This one setting has made my life a lot simpler with Chrome and I feel you will get pleasure from this too.
Whereas we're speaking about extensions, there's one other setting that you need to find out about. Have you ever ever browsed the net in "incognito" mode and questioned the place all of your extensions are? Effectively, by default, Chrome doesn't enable extensions to work in incognito as you don't need any service to trace you in that mode. Nonetheless, if there's an extension that you simply can not use Chrome with out, there's a approach to enable extensions in incognito mode.
To do this, open the extensions supervisor web page ("chrome://extensions/") after which click on on the "Particulars" button of the extension that you simply wish to use in incognito. Now, discover the "Permit in incognito" choice and allow it by clicking on the slider button.
Not many individuals know this however by default, Chrome runs all its apps within the background. That's not acceptable as I don't need Chrome to run something as soon as I shut the app. Fortunately, there's a setting you could disable to cease this from taking place. To do this open Chrome after which go to Settings -> Superior, and disable the "Proceed working background apps when Google Chrome is closed" choice. This may prevent each battery and system assets if you end up not utilizing Chrome.
Adobe Flash is an archaic software program that ought to have been lifeless by now, nonetheless, because of 1000's of internet sites which can be nonetheless utilizing it, it's nonetheless alive and strutting alongside. Google has taken motion because the Chrome browser now asks you earlier than working Flash by default, nonetheless, it's nonetheless not ok. There's a high-security danger that comes with working Flash and for those who worth your knowledge and on-line safety, you need to completely disable it. To disable Flash in your Chrome browser, go to the Flash settings web page (chrome://settings/content material/flash) after which disable it by turning off the toggle.
Everytime you use a credit score or debit card to make a purchase order on-line utilizing Google Chrome browser, it asks you to save lots of that data to make try simpler the following time. Effectively, most of us knowingly or unknowingly agree to save lots of that data in Chrome which is an issue in case your gadget is utilized by anybody aside from you too. Even in case you are the only real person of your gadget, you need to regulate the cost data that Chrome has on you and delete those that you simply don't need Chrome to have.
Quite the opposite, you too can add cost strategies if you wish to make future on-line purchases simpler. Whether or not you wish to add or take away cost particulars, the purpose is that you need to find out about this setting. To handle your cost strategies, go to the funds web page on Chrome ("chrome://settings/funds") and take a look at all of the saved data. Right here you possibly can click on on the "Add" button so as to add new cost strategies or disable the "Save and fill cost strategies" choice to disable the identical.
Just like cost data, Chrome additionally saves different autofill particulars to make kind filling simpler sooner or later. The saved data embody your addresses, cellphone numbers, and extra. Nonetheless, numerous time, Chrome fills out incomplete or incorrect addresses. If you wish to repair this, you possibly can merely head over to "chrome://settings/autofill" and take away the unfinished or incorrect addresses, whereas including the right and full addresses so Chrome autofills the right tackle subsequent time you're filling out a kind.
In case you are looking the web on a public or good friend's pc and wish to keep your on-line privateness with out shedding out on any characteristic, making a visitor profile is a superb choice. While you browse the web utilizing a visitor profile, the pages that you simply view don't seem within the browser historical past they usually don't depart different traces, like cookies, on the pc after you shut all open Visitor home windows. Furthermore, Visitor profiles don't get entry to your private knowledge, so the web sites you go to with the Visitor profile received't get any entry to any of your private knowledge both, which is an added bonus.
To browse Chrome in Visitor mode, simply click on on the profile icon on the prime proper and click on on the "Open Visitor Window". As soon as you're completed looking the web, simply shut all of the Visitor home windows and your looking data shall be eliminated.
Probably the most annoying issues about looking the web is that most web sites wish to ship notifications to you and immediate you with a pop-up everytime you go to them. That's very annoying and turns into an actual drawback once you mistakenly enable a web site to ship you notifications. Effectively, this setting won't solely forestall websites from sending you any notification, however it can additionally forestall any future pop-ups asking your permission to allow notification.
To disable notification for all websites to dam annoying pop-ups, simply go to the Chrome's notification web page ("chrome://settings/content material/notifications) after which disable the toggle subsequent to "Ask earlier than sending (advisable)" choice.
Our cell gadgets maintain numerous private data together with our location, microphone and digital camera entry, and extra, and chances are high you don't need your cellphone to share that knowledge with web sites. That's why it's necessary that you simply handle permissions given to completely different web sites and revoke entry to issues that you're not comfy sharing with web sites. To handle web site permissions, click on on the three-dots menu after which go to Settings -> Web site Settings and click on on particular person choices to see and deny permissions for issues that you simply don't need web sites to entry.
The web is crammed with malicious web sites and you'll by no means be too cautious whereas browsing the net. Fortunately, Chrome has a built-in protected looking choice which permits it to dam the web sites that it deems unsafe. Everybody ought to allow this setting in the event that they wish to benefit from the web with out the worry of malicious assaults. To allow this setting, simply go to Settings -> Privateness and activate the "Secure Looking" choice.
By default, Chrome sends your utilization stories to Google to make the browser higher sooner or later. And whereas the information is anonymized to safeguard your privateness, you possibly can disable the sharing all collectively if you wish to be much more cautious with what knowledge Google can acquire from you. To disable utilization report sharing with Google, go to Settings -> Privateness -> Utilization and crash stories and switch it off.
That is extra of a trick than a Chrome setting that you could change nonetheless it is rather helpful so I couldn't cease myself from together with this on the checklist. If there's a web site or checklist of internet sites that you simply like to go to commonly, Chrome means that you can entry them immediately by creating residence display screen shortcuts. To create these shortcuts, first, go to the web site that you simply wish to create the shortcut for after which faucet on the three-dot menu. Right here, faucet on the "Add to Residence display screen" choice to create your shortcut. Repeat this for each web site that you simply wish to add to your property display screen.
Whereas Google is by far the very best search engine in the marketplace proper now, there are individuals who want to make use of alternate engines like google for private causes. Effectively, in case you are considered one of them, you are able to do that by opening Chrome in your cell gadget after which going to Settings -> Search engine after which selecting from the checklist of obtainable choices.
One other Chrome cell setting that you need to take a look at is the autofill setting which permits Chrome to autofill issues like passwords, addresses, cost data, and extra. Whether or not you need Chrome to have entry to all this data is your alternative and you need to undoubtedly try the settings. To see your autofill preferences open Settings and below "Fundamentals" try the "Passwords", "Cost strategies", and "Addresses and extra" choices. Right here you will see that your saved data, together with a toggle for auto-filling the information in web sites. You possibly can simply flip this toggle off to disable autofill in Chrome cell.
Most of us are on a restricted knowledge plan on our cell gadgets and therefore it's vital to save lots of knowledge wherever it's potential. Fortunately, Chrome has an information saving setting which when turned on ends in 60% much less knowledge consumption. To allow this setting go to Settings -> Information Saver and activate the toggle.
Chrome Desktop browser means that you can create shortcuts for the web sites that you simply wish to go to. For instance, After I sort within the shortcut "xb" in my Chrome's browser and hit enter, it opens our personal web site.

So what can you eat on the Paleo diet? The diet revolves around healthy fats from natural sources, natural carbohydrates derived from fruits and vegetables. Compared to many other diet plans, the Paleo diet incorporates more protein as a staple. Approximately 20-35% of the Paleo diet revolves around meat and seafood. The diet also calls for a reduction in carbohydrate intake and starchy fruits and vegetables. Many proponents of the Paleo diet boast that unlike many other fad diets, it's much more sustainable for long-term adherence. This is because unlike other fad diets that have the end goal of weight loss, the Paleo diet promotes an actual lifestylechange. Now this doesn't mean going to your local supermarket and picking up any meat from the butcher and assume you're accommodating a Paleo lifestyle. The idea is that you're sourcing free range, hormone free, naturally fed animals. For example, bacon has had a bad rep for being greasy and fatty. In actuality, bacon is high in healthy, saturated fats that aid in the functionality of the brain, bones and almost every cell in your body. What the diet doescondone a lot of is: fresh, organic fruits, vegetables, meat, seafood, eggs, nuts (excluding peanuts which are technically legumes), seeds, animal fat, avocado oil, olive oil, coconut oil, unrefined seed and nut oil, honey, and last but not least, maple syrup.
o Accept that fat is not a bad thing. Animal fats and saturated fats are healthyand actually good for you. Just make sure they come from well treated, grass or grain fed animals.
o Protein, protein, protein! Make sure your diet includes plentyof organic chicken, beef, pork (especially the fatty cuts), eggs, and wild caught seafood. Bonus: the bones can make an excellent broth!
o High starch vegetables such as yams and sweet potatoes are an excellent source of good carbohydrates.
o While eating in this manner is healthy for the human body, the key to this diet is portion control. Especially regarding items like nuts; eating too many can result in calorie and fat overload. Exercise self-control in snacking and portion size!
o No. Added. Sugar. Perhaps one of the hardest parts of being Paleo is cutting out sugary fruit juices, soft drinks, and pre-packaged sweets.
o Cut out dairy! Except butter.
o Get used to cooking big batches of food. Take the time consuming effort out of cooking Paleo meals by making big batches of breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks on Sundays. This will save you time and money throughout the week while also preventing cheat meals and overeating!
o Easy rule of thumb, if it comes in a box don't eat it! To ensure you stick to your diet guidelines it's often easier to prepare meals and snacks yourself.
Do you have any must-try Paleo recipes? Share them with us below!


This blog post was first published on October 13, 2011, and today, on September 23, 2016, I am reposting this article as things have been changed a lot in recent years. I was reading this post the last day, and found that I can add many new things to it, so here is the new updated content.
1 Why do we do Guest Blogging?
Why do we do Guest Blogging?
To succeed in anything, you must need to know that why do you do that work? I mean you must be clear about the goals and objectives of guest blogging before you start doing it.
Until you set the goals that you want to achieve with Guest blogging, it's tough to succeed.
In the past, guest blogging was heavily used for building backlinks in a natural manner. It completely replaced the article marketing. But, later Matt Cutts wrote in one of his blog posts that guest blogging is dead for SEO. Google took this step because a huge number of link builders started to pretend them as bloggers, and then started guest posting on multiple blogs without maintaining the content quality.
Therefore, now guest blogging is not being used for SEO primarily. But, it is still relevant and a great way to brand yourself in the industry. You can still get naturally placed backlinks in your guest posts, but make sure they are added as references and not look like a forcefully added link just to manipulate the search engines.
When you do guest blogging, you can target the audience of the host blog, get backlinks, get traffic to your site, and if the host blog is a popular one, your brand as a blogger gets stronger as well.
If you regularly keep posting quality guest posts on quality blogs, your credibility increases. For example, if you are able to publish your guest posts on websites like Marketingland or some big sites, you will surely be considered as more credible than the authors who post guest posts on smaller sites. The reason is that big sites only accept the guest posts which are of awesome quality, and due to this, you get more popularity when your post gets published on such sites.
While doing guest posts on larger sites, you also get connected to bloggers with high authority, and these all increase your credibility.
As I said in the 1st point that when you publish your guest post on a blog, you get a chance to interact with that blog's audience. That means if you publish 2-3 guest blog posts every month on various blogs, you will be able to reach out to more audience. And, eventually, many of those readers can become your blog's readers as well if they like your quality.
This is one of the biggest reasons that even popular authors are involved in guest blogging to reach even larger audience base.
When you reach more audience, you get more referral traffic to your blog as well. This is also a big reason bloggers indulge in guest blogging as it sends a good amount of targeted traffic to your site.
Here I am talking about the reasons that most of the bloggers have for doing guest posting, but there are many who are increasing the number of customers by guest blogging as well. Yes, during my research, I found an Interview with Leo Widrich(Co-founder of BufferApp) published on searchenginewatch.com where he claims that they have increased their number of customers from 0 to 1,00,000 within first 9 months just by their guest blogging efforts.
These are some most important reasons people do guest blogging.
In short, a blogger thinks of at least these four things, backlinks, traffic, reach, and credibility while he does guest blogging.
But, do you think that just publishing 3-4 guest posts every month is well enough to reach above-mentioned goals?
You have to do some planning and make strategies to move ahead with the guest blogging to reach your goals.
When you think of guest blogging, the very first thing comes in mind is that on which blogs you should publish your guest posts?
Blog selection is crucial because until you publish your guest posts on some excellent sites, you won't get all the benefits you target.
Since you are a blogger, you must already know a number of blogs that accept guest posts. You just need to filter the best ones out of them. Moreover, you can use Google, and try various search queries to find more blogs that accept guest posting.
You get a hell lot of blogs on the page one itself; you can move to page 2 of Google to check out even more sites.
This way, you can try various search queries with the combination as I tried above, and then prepare a list of blogs.
Once you are done with the list, set you requirement such as Domain Authority: 50, Alexa: below 50k, Traffic more than 1000, More than 1000 Indexed pages in Google, etc.
These are just for example, you can set requirements that you want, and on the basis of that, sort the list of blogs.
In the end, you will have a good list of excellent blogs in your niche that accept guest posts.
Most of the newbies always miss to read the guidelines, and this is one of the biggest mistakes in guest blogging.
You must read the guest posting guidelines of the blogs which you are going to send emails.
Reading the guidelines helps you understand the expectations of the host bloggers, and once you know their expectations, you can write better tempting emails using their contact form or email address (if given) which may impress the host bloggers.
For example, you may check WritetoDone' Guest Posting Guidelines, and you will realize that if someone randomly emails them with guest posting request, he won't get accepted because the process is written on the guidelines page which he hadn't read before sending an email.
Look at the above screenshot of WritetoDone's guest posting guidelines page. They even had written the email id there so that you can send an email to the right person.
You must write the email for guest posting request in a good manner because if you don't write a good email, professional bloggers will reject your request.
This is just a template; you must need to customize it well and do some editing wherever required.
Such emails explain things clearly to the host blogger, and most probably he/she reads your email, and chances are there to get accepted.
One Important thing, I would like to recommend you that when you send requests for guest posting via emails, use tools like MailTrack (Works with Gmail) which notifies you when your emails are opened and read by the recipient. This helps you figure out whether the recipient read the email.
Once your application gets accepted for the topic you proposed, it's time for you to create an excellent content that no one can reject.
Since it is recommended to do guest post on big blogs for better branding, credibility, and traffic, you must have to match their content quality.
While creating the content, the very first thing you should do is to write a tempting headline for the post because when your headline is catchy and attractive, it gets the best CTR on SERPs and even on social media.
Second thing, write the content with lots of factual stats and data (if the topic requires). Also, use power words which make your content look more professional and effective.
Make sure the post's introduction is excellent and appealing. It's important because if your introduction is not good, readers may not read the complete post. You must write in a way that it tempts the readers to read the full blog post. Don't forget to write Final words or Conclusion at the end of the post.
For more tips on writing a killer content, read the post at Quicksprout which lists 9 ingredients of great content. Mi Muba has contributed a blog post about 10 Cs to write unforgettable content which you can read by clicking here.
Above all, make sure your content abides the guest posting guidelines of the host blog.
Writing great content gives you more benefits as the audience will start to like your content, and you get more readers for your blog as well.
I don't consider myself a great writer but I wrote an excellent guest post on Tesla Themes about optimizing WordPress sites without any SEO plugins, and I got many new readers for my blog and even I got a writing client with high pay.
Therefore, whenever you write a guest post, make sure you offer your best content.
When your guest post is published on other blogs, you get your author bio there that tells about you, and probably your blog and social profiles are linked there.
You must try writing attractive author bio for guest posts which should not look too promotional but still says enough about you and your work.
Neil Patel has written a really nice post on HubSpot in which he showed how to write an amazing author bio. You can read that post here.
When you create content, you must add all the images, infographics or videos that are needed in the post. Don't just write an essay type post and send for approval. It may get rejected. Blog posts should have media element to grab readers' attention, and every host would expect these in the guest post.
You should not expect the host blogger to add images and videos. You have to do it, and while sending the doc, do send the media elements in separate attachments as well because host blogger may feel lazy to extract those from the doc.
In short, I would say you have to send the complete work so that the host doesn't need to do much to make your post live.
In another case, if you are given access to the host blog to submit your post, you must add everything right in place, and then submit for review.
When your guest post is published, your work is not over yet. You should be there to answer to the comments and queries which come on that particular post.
If you don't respond, you won't succeed well in guest blogging because readers want the author to reply to their queries. Responding to comments and queries also helps you become more credible.
For example, Erik has contributed to this blog multiple times, and he is always there to reply to every comment on his guest posts, and that is what I like as a host blogger. Readers too like to read his posts and ask queries because his contents are good and he is always there to respond to queries.
This is an excellent way to brand yourself as a good guest blogger and it also helps you succeed in guest blogging.
Don't get carried away with the hype that guest posting is not relevant now. It is still relevant, and you can get all type of benefits you want from it. Just the need is to maintain the quality.
I am sure if you follow the above guidelines, you will surely get succeeded in guest blogging.
Now, I would like to hear your thoughts on Guest Blogging. If you have got any queries, do ask in comments.

HI Ritesh! For Now we are not open for this kind of stuff. We will plan to do such kind of registration thing in near future then will let you know for sure.
Atish, nice points here. Especially the key lies in making it as easier as possible for the host bloggers; as far as it goes with formatting, topic etc. If the host bloggers had to do a lot of work, the chance of acceptance of guest posts is very less. The easier we make it for them the sooner it gets accepted. Of course, quality comes first in any case – Just from my experience of guest blogging!
Yes You are Right Jane. If there is less editing work for the admins then they always love to accept the posts from that guest blogger. Quality matters for sure.
I agree that writing the post in points could make it look more professional and appealing to the readers. It can also make the post easier to read and understand. Replying to comments is one of the keys in generating traffic. Reaching out to the readers and letting them know a little bit more about a guest blogger could make them want to read more of you and visit your blog.

Guest posting is a great way to get solid backlinks from other's blog. in this you need to write for other's blog and in return the admin of that blog can give you 1-2 links in the post or in the author bio.
Excellent article about the very important world of guest blogging. It's a great way to build your blog up!
Thanks Darren for the appreciation. In fact this is the best way to make solid links if we do in a smarter way.
I also like Backlinks. But I think that some people are doing so much of them that they simply fluid the internet space. In my opinion, there awesome, but in some decent quantity.
Anna@Cosmetic Dentistry recently posted…These are not some temporary veneers!
We need to go slow in building backlinks.
You actually give great points here about guest blogging. It is true that this is one of the most effective way in building links to other blogs.

Thanks Dude. Yes only the guest post can help you to show your online presence.
Guest Blogging is best way to get backlinks for your site and that too from Quality sites rather than crap sites, Bdw, I want to write a guest post for this blog. Let me know on what topics you want me to write..
Thanks for your comment Ankit. You may write about SEO or blogging and any tech related topic on this blog.
I am submitting a Guest Post about anchor text.. Will be sending you post in a few mins..

I'm actually working hard on guest posting, I have one going up on ProBlogger tomorrow. I like your tips, I have a list, and some default author bios and emails for guest posting, I try and perfect them as I go.
Jamie Northrup @ Web Consultant recently posted…Getting Paid to Blog is Great, But Recognition is Even Better!
Thats great. all the best dude.
Good points Atish. I especially like your point about responding to comments and trying to promote the guest post on stumbleupon and other social media sites. The more you give back the more writing opportunities you will get.
Thanks Tim. yes replying to comments increase the reader's interest in your blog and this becomes a conversation which will benefit yourself as well as your readers. because conversation and discussions always give something new to learn.
Thanks for your kind words Mike.
Aside from generating traffic to my site, I am hoping to build a relationship with other bloggers. I learned that I will be introduced to a brand new market as well which is interesting. Providing a killer post is really important and I hope other blog directories would find my contents impressive. I really want to try this.
"Making relationship with other bloggers" i the best line you said because building relationship with other bloggers gives us much more to learn. Traffic will be coming naturally when folks start liking you writing style, your way of interaction with your reader and all.
Good points . I especially like your point about responding to comments and trying to promote the guest post on stumbleupon and other social media sites. The more you give back the more writing opportunities you will get.
It can also make the post easier to read and understand. Replying to comments is one of the keys in generating traffic. Guest blogging is really useful to build our reputation.
Yes guest blogging build our reputation in blogosphere.
Awesome article! I think a lot of people know the value of guest blogging (and it's increasingly popular) but aren't quite sure how to get started. Replying to comments is key, as well, and I think a lot of people forget that.
Yes A lot of guys don't reply to comments. But they need to reply to comments so that their readers can get nice discussion environment.
Great tips Atish, I've recently started blogging on other blogs and I really enjoy it. I agree replying to comments is critical and I think you should aim to write a post that is really going to exceed expectations. you won't make a name for yourself writing good posts but if you are lucky and consistent you might make a name for yourself consistently writing posts and really stand out.
Where do i find guest bloggers? I could use some real estate guest bloggers on my site to keep the content fresh. No matter how much i dedicate myself to posting a new blog entry daily… it just doesnt happen.
I don't think you need to search for guest bloggers. Guest bloggers themselves contact blog owner to post their articles. Just make a page on your site named as "Write For Us" then you might get few nice guest bloggers.
I've found great guest bloggers on a firm providing blogging services. But you can also post an ad looking for guest bloggers incase the "Write for Us" page in your site didn't work.
if we post some articles on others wall can we expect it saqme from the one.is it good for a new blog?
Please clear out question. I didn't get you. I can answer better if the question will be more clear.
That is what I am doing, I got good niche but it's all still on paper since I had this fear of inadequacy but I know I can get over this thing. Anyway thank you for this wonderful tips you just gave. This is a very informative post for me.
Create a write for us page on your site and i think you will get guest bloggers automatically if your site is well enough.
You can also check out a website like MyBlogGuest.com, it's free and you can find guest bloggers for your website.
Thanks Jamie for answering here.
Thanks for your comment Hunter.
Great post I hope to have great sucess with my website.
Great information here. Will surely implement these tactics to enhance my Guest Blogging Efforts.
Do you accept Guest Bloggers to your Blog ? If so how does it work ?
Yes I do accept guest posts for my blog. you just need to send the html format of your guest post via contact form with you author's bio.
Great post Atish.Basically the point of blog is very charm full to the viewer,its also helps our journey.

Great friend, your tips gratitude stand in good stead. hopefully I can success ..
Thanks for these tips. I was looking to Start Guest Posting.
I think you're right. But, how about google indexing? Is it very important for blogger?
Google Indexing is the most important. If you will keep on doing white hat SEO then Google will keep crawling and indexing your site. but as soon as you start using black hat SEO tricks then it might be possible to get spammed by Google so please try to do Good.
Nice tips. I've never done guest posting my entire life because I don't really know if I can write a good article. And before I know it, my idea just got stolen by another good blogger.
Oh, don't think if you can write good or not. Just write what you think . it will be an awesome article.
Thanks for the encouragement. It'll took me a day just to write a good article.
i would like to thank you for this Post. I`m a new Blogger and thankful for Tips about Blogging, SEO, Traffic, PR, Google and …. all the others.

Really a great thing you posted this! Although a lot of bloggers are still hesitant to do some guesting, but it's just a matter of time before they realize that they need to!
Guest blogging is the best strategy now. I agree with you that the writer has to reply to comments if there were any, it will improve recognition and helping the blog owner in some way.
I agree with you that after guest posting, the job is not yet done. Guest bloggers need to reply to comments if there were any. This will not only improve recognition but will help the blog owner in some way as well. Nice tips here !
Yes thats what I have written in the post. thanks for your comment.
Hi Atish, I'm always amazed by some bloggers who fail to make a great and amazing Bio. This is the minimum one should do when guest blogging. A Bio is so important so people can find you and engage with you. It's already hard enough to find traffic, not doing a good bio is a big mistake.
You are absolutely right Bbrian. Your bio reflects your whole image so you need to be very careful while writing your bio for guest blogging.
Atish I'm so serious about the bio I even added a how to set up your Bio on my guest blog page so members do it. If they don't' I don't' even approve the article.
You are doing good so that next time they will send you the post along with their bio.
It is a very catchy topic.I was really interested to know how people get success through guest blogging.Your post really helps many bloggers.
Thanks Pete for the comment.

Thanks dude for the comment. I am happy that you liked it.
hmm.. You are a Webmaster in this Topic . Thanks for Sharing !
Great points, Atish! But your guest posting will be succesful onlyy if the blog/site where you publish your artices or posts has a good number of visitor. Unfortunately, with the increase of guest posting popularity the number of junk sites that offer publishing your articles also has increased. So, if you start to write guest posts, you should carefully pick them up.
Yes You are absolutely right. thanks for the tip.
Thanks Kuldeep for your kind words.
Excellent post.Guest posting is really great way to build links and get real traffic.Thanks for your great tips.
Thanks for the post Atish. I couldn't agree more. This is so far the best tip that I've read about guest blogging. You made it simple yet very informative for a newbie blogger like me. It took me 3 returns just to comment as I couldn't say anything but awesome!
Many thanks for giving such very important tips. I will keep it in mind. Guest blogging is really one of the best technique for quality tarffic building.
Awesome post, Atish. I do believe that a good author bio is your best tool when it comes to guest posting. Of course your post itself must be great so that people will read all the way down to the author bio. You have obviously got that right – well done!
Thanks Ana For your comment here. Bio must be good because It reflects the author's character and quality.
I agree with Ana, Author bio has a great impact. It tells other about you. Wherever you do a guest post your author bio will be letting others know about you. Nice post Atish.
I would like to say that guest blog posting is a highly effective link building technique. When, for example, I select blogs for guest posting I usually try to select topic related blogs, which provide do follow links for a website and can generate high ammounts of targeted users. So, links obtained via guest blog posting provide a lot of traffic to my website and SEO improvement.
Yes You can get Traffic + solid links by doing guest blogging.
Hello Atish. I think one has to write your author bio to suit the specific blogs profile. That way you can cash in on being relevant to the blog. This, of course, works if you have an author account on the specific WordPress blog. I have a friend that has raised the level one bar higher. Instead of only adding the above points, he adds a video as well and it gives him sort of an edge.
Thats really great buddy. thanks for the info.
Thanks katherin for your kind words and nice descriptive comment.
Its always time consuming but for better exposure you need to reply comments on your post whether it is on your blog or a guest post of your on other blog.
Thanks for the tips! I will change my author bio right now!

Thanks for the article dude. Guest blogging is really a very helpful way to publicize your blog and gain backlinks.
Love the tip on writing a great bio; that's something I need to work on. I've noticed that some of the most successful bloggers and online marketers are geniuses at making the smallest things in their bio sound amazing. I guess they just have a way with words or have figured out how to 'big themselves up.' Also like how you mentioned creating a list of target blogs to reach out to as that's another crucial thing; approaching blogs that are in line with your target audience.
Yes Victoria, Writing a great bio can help you getting exposure infront of the blog readers and even clients. Thanks for your nice words.
Thanks Ahsan for your comment.
Wonderful article. I have recently started my guest post writing career. I learned lots of good points from this post. Thanks for this information. Hope so soon I will write posts for this site also.

I learned that guest posting is definitely on of the best way to increase your traffic and PR. It's also suggested that the article you submit for guest posting should be great.
This is a great post on how to some guest blogging, it's great to do this is you don't want to start a blog of your own. Blogs take time to manage, so guest posting can do a lot of the heavy lifting if you post on popular revelvant blogs to your niche.
Your article for guest posting really having lots of information. Since guest posting is the one of the best method of link building, Thanks for sharing.
It's really amazing post… Guest posting is very good way of blogging that helps to establish your brand and authority as you open yourself up to new readers and conversations.

Thanks Atish for sharing this post.
Oh did you start blogging John?
The post is really awesome….as we are in post panda and post penguin era the guest posting has become the one of the best off site SEO tactics for sure…..Via guest posting on quality blogs we can achieve tremendous success in very short span….but we shouldn't use it vaguely rather we need to use it wisely…..
Yes if you do guest posting in a good manner then its very good but now a day I notice that everyone is just hungry for backlinks and they don't participate in brand building or networking with others. When you do guest post then you should follow up to the comments and give replies etc. Thanks for stopping by Aditya.
I started my blogging journey some months ago and since then I have being thinking of how to get exposure, network and build quality back links. In my quest for this I searched for topics on this on the net and got lots of information. But i never see the perfect one that will guide me to start guest blogging until I stumble upon your blog today. This post has really helped me and I will be starting my guest blogging this week. Thanks very much for sharing.
Thank you so much Oladayo. Keep up the good work and keep coming to TTW!
Nice concept but in guest blogging we need to share revenue with guests.Can you tell more about this?
Dear Azad, It is not mandatory to share your revenue with any of the guest. Rather I would say that if you do so, there will be more probability of hacking or blocking your adsense account. Because, I am using multisite concept, I might be knowing very well about guest and host concepts. So, you can believe me.
Exactly, No need to share the revenue but yes if you want to then you can.
Atish Ranjan recently posted…Android vs iPhone: What's the Difference?

Its really an useful info. I offered guest post in one of my blog but then I need to stop it as the quality of article which I started to get was not upto my expectation. People write articles just to get some quality links but fail to realize that the other website get spoiled of such things.
You have made everything clear and it will help many.
Esther Michael recently posted…How to Make Money using Facebook Fan Page and Ads?
Guest blogging trend had gone, and not working any more because of heavily paid services and spun contents.
I used to accept guest posts once, but now no longer accept guest posts.
You are somehow right. it worked best before but the resources which is used too much stops working well.
Yes! I have stopped accepting guest posting request since long.
I am also doing the same.
One of my Hosting related blog completely spoiled because of Guest posts. Google penalized that site in a way that it no longer gets a single traffic from google, though it gets some traffic from Bing.
yea guest posting is now spoiling the blog.
Well, the moment from which this PR update came in our blogging lives, the GUEST POSTING became active once again.
According to me guest posting will work wonders for you especially for newbies if they really want to plunge into this.
Thanks for this share Atish.
yea you are right. when PR was not being updated bloggers are less active in guest blogging but now again every blogger will start Guest blogging.
Correct! I agree with you.
Thanks you stopped by Shaily.
Well Guest blogging is always been a great tactics to share knowledge and experiences.
It's impressive post but know a days is not working so much as do in previous days. It's a nice way to build a back links. Thanks fro sharing your suggestions with us .
Yes you are right. Guest blogging is dead for SEO. By the way this post was written years ago. Things have been changed. Keep coming.
Your post is really help us a lot to learn something informative about Guest posting but i think these days Google may be punishment those sites, who post to much Guest posting on their sites, so these days many website owners are disable Guest posting on their blogs.
Yes, this post was written year ago. Now Google is not giving so much importance to guest blogging especially when done for link bulding.
Thanks Kaos for your comment.
Nice post. You have a logical comment and i agree with the rest that guest blogging is a long gone story!
How about some good tips on places to find blogs that match your niche?
I will think about it. Thanks!
The tips that you have shared here is very valuable and thank you so much for sharing these tips moreover for sure this is the perfect tips. I am going to follow them. Blogging is a great way to exchange the knowledge and information.
Thanks for this nice post. I started my blog some weeks now, I wanted to implement the guest blogging technique on it.
I frequently used to publish guest post on few popular blogs like shoutmeloud. Also let me know if you do accept guest post on your blog, I would love to contribute one on your blog.
Very Nice article for newbie guest bloggers including me. I am just starting with guest blogging and these point will help me a lot.
Choosing a blog for guest blogging is very crucial process as per my journey till now.
Hello..You have a nice blog.Can i be a guest blogger here.Am a start up..trying to get traffic for my blog.
Hi Atish, Thanks for sharing this useful information about guest blogging. I really got information which i was looking for years. But i have some questions.
1. How to write amazing author bio? please give reference.
2. How can I hire content writers online in low price?
1. Added the reference link in the article itself.
2. For hiring content writers, you can make use of Facebook groups. There are tons of FB groups where if you write your requirement you will get many writers PMing you with their samples. Screen them, and choose as per your need.
You have nicely explained the anatomy of guest blogging with the help of your magical guidelines about guest blogging, bloggers can make relationships with different pro bloggers and increase their blog traffic nicely and effectively. It is infact an excellent way of branding a blog.
Every day i get number of requests of different contributors but i simply ignore all of these because their main aim is to get dofollow backlink in reward.
At the early stage, I have accepted a lot of guest post with low qualities too, and faced a lot of problems. But, now I closed it and kept it on invite basis to choose bloggers of my choice to publish a post on my blog.
It is indeed a joy to be here in your republished blog post.
In fact, I really missed it in the beginning, Nice that I found it today.
Yes, as Mairaj said these days I am getting a lot of enquiries from fellow bloggers, asking, do you accept guest posts, as you said I am also very choosy in this factor these days.
Thanks a lot for sharing these guidelines through this informative post.
Philip Verghese Ariel recently posted…How To Get More Comments On Your Blog Posts?
Guest posting is good but since we need to maintain the quality we should care about it while accepting on our blog and even when we do on other blogs.
Guest Blogging is my favorite part. And things that you have shared in this post are all relevant. This is going to be helpful to the bloggers.
Robin Khokhar recently posted…How to get Cheap Web Hosting at Godaddy?
Guest blogging is really essential when we talk about backlinks and branding. I always look for the opportunity to do guest post on different blog. It also helps to build community around your blog. You have discussed all the steps to get success in blogging through guest post. Another good piece is added to TTW's content list.
Thank you for coming by and leaving your comment. Yes, guest blogging is still relevant and can offer many benefits.
Have a great day, and enjoy the weekend.
Hello Atish! My My over 200 comments! I can certainly see why! So Curious? Did you make changes from the original post in 2011?
You did one awesome job with this post, it is sure to help a lot of bloggers get success through guest blogging.
Yes, I wrote this post in 2011, and it did get over 200 comments already. I thought to add updated info in content, so I updated it. yes, I updated in the existing content only.
I am happy that you liked it.
This is a thorough, yet concise guide to guest posting.
You've also given some of the great benefits for doing so.
I've had clients tell me they don't guest post because it's too much work writing for others, when they have to write so much for themselves.
I haven't done much of it myself, largely for that reason.
I do encourage my clients to guest post, though, because it helps them build authority.
I'm inspired by your post to start doing more of myself, too (take my own advice, haha) because, even though I'm not so concerned about building authority at this stage of my growth, but I always welcome new audiences and readers.
So, I'll bookmark this helpful guide and start implementing the things you've suggested.
Thanks Atish, it's always a pleasure to visit your blog.
I am glad that you thoroughly enjoyed the post. This is was the post I wrote in 2011, and after 5 years, I have repurposed it with better insights, facts, and information.
I can understand your client's concern that it is too much work in guest blogging. But, it is all worth if you got your post published on good blogs.
Guest posting is great to be in touch with fellow bloggers and the best benefit is you meet a whole new audience every time you publish a guest post.
I have gotten your blog from 'The Huffington Post' site. But after entering your site I become surprised because all blog posts are really resourceful.
However, I have read this blog post that will hep me to do blogging very carefully.
Great tips Atish on how to get success through guest blogging!
Thanks for coming by George.
I believe guest blogging is still a valuable way to build authority. People should consider it for building connections, not just for creating backlinks.
Awesome guide, will share it right now.
Thank you so much for coming by. Thanks for the share.
Well I must say its been really long time since I've done any guest blogging. I guess I have missed so many benefits.
You have shared really great post about guest blogging, will surely follow your tips.
Actually the guest posting will enable us to getting bond with the visitors. By placing the blog it will attract the visitors with the interesting and fresh topics we are providing.
You gave a bunch of good tips about SEO and guest blogging. It's very helpful to me. Thanks a much.
It's good to see that you practice what you preach. You are giving replies to the comments as you suggested to your readers to do. It shows your seriousness and dedication And not to mention, it's a great post.
Wow what a great post you have posted about guest posting. And i will surely follow this.
Fantastic post about the guest posting. Guest posting is very useful to initiate a healthy backlinks and also create a high repoted bio for writers. I really inspired through reading your post and thanks for such a informative post.
Thanks for sharing this Atish! This would help me a lot when doing guest posts. I already published a lot of guest posts from different sites, but I'm still wondering why other webmasters rejected my title proposals and sometimes ignored my emails though I always include links to my sample writings and give a unique title suggestion. Are there any tips you can give how I can improve it? Or any better ways to write emails when reaching out for webmasters? Thanks a lot!
As I said in the post, that you must read their guidelines first before emailing them. Get to know first whether they are accepting guest post. I have clearly written that we are closed for guest posts, and still we got 3-4 emails everyday for guest post request, and thus we have to ignore because people are not reading what we wrote on contact us page.
This is why, always know whether the blogger you are reaching out is accepting guest posts, and also check his guidelines.
Use Mailtrack.io as I suggested in the post which will help you know if those bloggers read your email or not. If you find they don't even read, then you can try emailing them as follow up.
If google doesn't provide any SEO value for guest posting, then can you please let me know which is the best way to get backlinks?
I have just started a blog, where I provide reviews for products, I have seen the command that you showed in your post for finding opportunities for guest posting. So will I be able to find my niche blog for guest posting if I type: reviews "guest post" on google ?
Google does give value to the links that are added naturally. No matter you get from guest post or any other way. The Google's rule applies for those who do guest posting without having quality in the mind. I saw many link builders have been doing it by posting 200-300 words articles, and plastered a lot of links in the post.
If you want to get benefits, you can try out sharing killer guest posts on good sites, and get links naturally. They will work.
And, yes the search queries I mentioned in the post will work well if you use it wisely.
I would say mention your product category there to find more specific blogs.
If your guest post content adds value to the host blog and the web, then links will surely have some good value.
I Agree ,When your guest post is published, your work is not over yet. You should be there to answer to the comments and queries which come on that particular post.
I would say Wow!!! The way you explained about the topic was pretty much impressive. I always like to read your articles and helped out a lot. Please keep writing.
Thanks for sharing this motivative and informative post.
Very nice post Atish. Guest blogging is surely great. But as you said everyone started guest blogging now. So does it count as a important SEO factor now?
Some solid tips in there, Atish. Here's my question – a lot of webmasters are asking for money in the $50-60 range per guest article. How do I go about it? thanks.
If you are going for paid posts, make sure you do use a natural anchor text. Don't use a rich anchor text. Second thing, if the blog has some really good stats like High DA, PA, good domain linking, huge traffic, investing $60 for a permanent link is a good idea.
Nice article on guest blogging, sounds perfect concept with clear cut strategy, very useful info I personally recommend to all newbie Bloggers.
Awesome Post!!! Thank you for this post. By the way I am also from sitamarhi and I am also a blogger and I in search of backlinks I have newly created backlinks plz help me to get backlinks.
Thank you for sharing such an excellent post regarding guest posting.
This article will help the one's who are new to guest posting and are looking to get quality backlinks through guest posting.
Guest post is a good way to get backlinks but you should not do only do for getting links but when you write a guest post, make sure you add a lot of value to the post and the blog on which it is going to be published. if the content is good, your link in that post will have good value as well.
Awesome article! I think a lot of people know the value of guest blogging but aren't quite sure how to get started. Replying to comments is key, as well, and I think a lot of people forget that.
Seriously, I hated guest blogging. I was saying: How can I give out my hard written article of maybe 1000 words.
I had to get rid of that mentality and I wrote my first guest and second guest post.
Guest Blogging will give you natural backlinks. But, thinking of the amount of time we need to spend for it, is it worth trying out?
I have tried out Guest Blogging only once. But, haven't got any big results or a big number of audience.
Nothing results good when you do only once. You have to try out for a good period of time. Not only links but you grow your network as well. When you think of guest posting, try contacting good and big blogs. Link from those will help greatly.

Do I Need An SSL Certificate
How SSL Enables Security
What is a Wildcard Certificate
Assaults on trust through the SSL/TLS-encrypted traffic are now common and growing in frequency, sophistication, and sheer brazenness. The low-risk, high-reward nature of SSL/TLS vulnerability ensures that these trends will continue, placing organizations at risk of breach, failed audits, and unplanned system downtime. The following examples describe a few of the most common techniques, the impact on businesses, and suggestions on how to prevent them.
Advanced Persistent Malware
Increasingly, malware is being designed specifically to steal SSL/TLS keys and certificates for use in communications fraud and data exfiltration. For example, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) operators exploiting Heartbleed malware stole digital keys and certificates that resulted in a breach of 4.5 million Community Health System (CHS) patient records. The Heartbleed exploit was used against a system behind the CHS firewall to expand the attack to reach these highly regulated patient records.
Heartbleed remediation requires that all keys and certificates be replaced, not just for a system to be patched. Incomplete remediation means that business and government services can be spoofed with the trust that a valid digital certificate provides, and sensitive communications can be decrypted.
To protect against advanced persistent malware, organizations need to identify all systems using SSL/TLS, install new keys and certificates on servers, revoke vulnerable certificates, and validate new keys and certificates are installed and working.
Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) Attacks
Successful MITM attacks gain the trust of communicating parties by impersonating a trusted website and eavesdropping on secure conversations. Access to SSL/TLS keys and certificates facilitates MITM attacks, and unsecured or lightly protected wireless access points are often exploited for entry.
There are several ways a bad actor can break the trust SSL/TLS establishes and launch a MITM attack. For example, a website's server key could be stolen, allowing the attacker to appear as the server. In some cases, the issuing Certificate Authority (CA) is compromised and the root key is stolen, so criminals can generate their own certificates signed by the stolen root key.
MITM can also result from a client's failure to validate the certificate against trusted CAs, or when a client is compromised and a fake CA is injected into the client trusted root authority. In many MITM attacks, malware performs this action to redirect users to fake banking web sites, where sensitive information can be easily stolen.
For enterprises, MITM attacks misuse trust to steal intellectual property, sensitive personal information, and damage an organization's reputation. For highly regulated industries like healthcare and finance, these attacks can also result in costly penalties. To remediate these exploits, organizations need to identify and revoke all certificates used on impacted servers, create new keys for certificates, and verify that new keys and certificates are being used.
Self-Signed and Wildcard Certificates
Server administrators frequently create self-signed "wildcard" certificates on-demand using free, OpenSSL. While quick and easy, this practice significantly erodes trust because no trusted third-party CA ever verifies these certificates.
Using a wildcard certificate on a publically facing webserver increases the risk that cybercriminals will use the server to host malicious websites in phishing campaigns. To eliminate this problem, organizations should avoid using wildcard certificates on production systems, especially public-facing ones. Instead, use subdomain-specific certificates that are rotated often.
Unknown, Untrusted, and Forged Certificate Authorities
Maintaining the trust required for today's global business demands a known and reputable CA that both parties can rely upon to authenticate the conversation. Over time, an enterprise might discover that it has been using certificates from dozens of unknown and untrusted CAs. For example, China's Certificate Authority—CCNIC—was recently cited as an untrusted CA.
In 2014, an Internet security organization named Netcraft, found dozens of fake digital certificates impersonating banks, ecommerce sites, ISPs and social networks deployed across the Internet. Even well-known CAs like GoDaddy can be compromised. Fake certificates purporting to be for GoDaddy's email service could allow an attacker to masquerade as GoDaddy if applications don't verify a certificate's trustworthiness.
To remediate the problem, organizations must identify and remove all certificates associated with unknown and untrusted CAs, and replace them with new certificates from trusted sources.
Attacker Encrypted Communications
Cybercriminals are using encryption to attack organizations at an ever-increasing rate. SSL/TLS is being turned against enterprises to deliver malware undetected, to listen in on private conversations, to disrupt secured transactions, and to exfiltrate data over encrypted communication channels. For example, the pervasive Zeus botnet used SSL communication to upgrade the attack after the initial email infection. Following the Boston Marathon bombing, a malware attached to a spam message also used SSL to communicate with its command and control server.
With more and more encrypted traffic, this trend is likely to expand rapidly. Gartner estimates that by 2017 more than 50% of the network attacks targeting enterprises will use SSL encryption, up from less than 5% today. For organizations that lack the ability to decrypt and inspect encrypted communications to assess these threats, this blind spot undermines traditional layered defenses and increases the risk of information breach and data loss.
To mitigate the impact of attacker encrypted communications, organizations should first evaluate the security risks from uninspected encrypted network traffic and update relevant risk indicators. In addition, the must also leverage existing network security solutions to enforce the outbound web policy on SSL traffic. With policies in place, companies should establish a prioritized list of the traffic profiles they need to decrypt. They should initiate a multiyear plan to improve coverage of encrypted traffic, starting with decrypting inbound and outbound Web traffic. And quantify current encrypted traffic mix with the anticipation it will grow 10% to 20% yearly.
Expired SSL/TLS Certificates
Expired certificates either cause unplanned system outages or open a door through which hackers can enter your network, or both. In 2013, Microsoft Azure experienced a worldwide outage due to an expired certificate. As a result, this leading cloud provider was down for hours and issued service credits. In 2014, tens of thousands of payment terminals used to process credit card payments in the U.S. stopped working because of an expired certificate.
An SSL/TLS session that uses an expired certificate should not be trusted. Accepting an expired certificate makes users vulnerable to man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks. To remediate this issue, all expired certificates should be identified and removed from servers.

When Manitobans elected Brian Pallister and the Progressive Conservative government in April, they had to know that they were in for some major changes. After a half-decade too long in power, the outgoing NDP had lost its way.
Schools, roads, facilities, programs, services and the like received what was then a promissory note for barrels of cash should the NDP, by some unforeseen chance, hold on to power when the dust settled.
Obviously, it didn't happen that way and very soon afterward, all those programs that once stood to benefit from a spend-happy NDP were prepared to tighten their belt under the austerity measures promised by PC MLAs destined for the Manitoba legislature. Brian Pallister was ready, as Frank Sinatra would say, to do it "his way" on the road to the premier's office.
Of all the $600 million worth of promises currently under review, three come to mind of the utmost importance to our community, with all of them revolving around education.
This past Wednesday, The Brandon Sun's editorial team looked at the need for the Pallister government to maintain previous commitments to both Brandon University and Assiniboine Community College, as there was a feeling they were catalyst-type projects for this community. Without a doubt, that is true. Add in the former government's promise to construct a new school, and you encompass the big three for the city of Brandon.
Of all the tantalizing offerings laid out in front of our city before the election period moratorium, none garnered the potential this trifecta did for building on economic opportunities in the region.
Assiniboine Community College sought funds to continue with the development of, and eventual move to the historic Parkland Building at ACC's North Hill campus.
Brandon University looked to expand on their already overstretched student housing offerings, and the Brandon School Division had the green light on the construction of a school in the Bellafield south end area of the city.
When we look at the economic impact of training and post-secondary opportunities in a community, it is no small-change scenario. Take Brantford, Ont., for example. Without a doubt, it is larger than Brandon, sitting at approximately 93,000 residents, but it is home to only a handful of post-secondary schools of varying sizes.
In 2006, a study was commissioned to look at the economic impact of post-secondary education, and the retention of the resulting graduates in that community.
Over a five-year period, the city was able to observe that the economy of the region grew from $216 million to $292 million over that time frame as a result of focusing on student-centric possibilities. This represents a jump of approximately $15 million annually.
It did not come as a consequence of a government that cut back on funding opportunities for post-secondary facilities. It was a concerted effort by all levels of government and the private sector to recognize that they needed to build on both education and enhancements to infrastructure to spurn growth in the region.
At the end of the day, the NDP commitments this year meant more to our region than just political promises or the actions of a government eyeing up the sword of Damocles dangling precariously above their brow. These were a result of the former government listening to the proponents of these carefully managed and researched projects — all of which encompass a definite need in our community.
They represent the opportunity to build our economic base by offering residents access to quality teaching and living arrangements in excellent post-secondary facilities. There is an overachieving benefit to a community when governments invest in these type of projects and our city would be better as a result of their moving forward.
Brandonites cannot begrudge Mr. Pallister for wanting to do it his way and not harbour the baggage of a bygone era. But if the Progressive Conservatives continue to truly listen, then surely some common ground can be reached.
For Brian Pallister, that success should ultimately include educational opportunities for Westman.

Suhana Khan turns yellow in this mellow picture with mommy Gauri Khan!
And look who dropped in! It's none other than the evergreen beauty Rekha. She struck some poses too...Haha!
Madhuri Dixit was her usual smiling self.
Siblings Huma Qureshi and Saqib Saleem too attended the night.
Here's another starlet Sara Ali Khan.
Here comes to-be-mommy Mira Kapoor. Mira was accompanied by Shahid Kapoor.
This man was probably the evening's most special guest. Janhvi Kapoor's dad Boney Kapoor isn't a very expressive person. But what a proud father he must have been!

Q: Android: Increase adb debug timeout in android studio Application gets closed when I am debugging the app in Android Studio.
Actually, I am facing an issue when I am doing debug to my android app in Android Studio. Application is getting close at some of the breakpoint execution. These app close breakpoints are not same every time. App debug mode is not happening more than 2 minutes, after a time period ADB debug connection finish.
I don't know this is due to the ADB connection timeout problem or something else?
I found this link Increase Android Emulator Timeout time for the Eclipse but nothing for Android Studio.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.

A: Emulator Set timeout value:

First Open Android Studio
You have to move in File -> Setting
Then Click on Task option from the vertical-left sidebar.
Then the Connection timeout option should be there.
In textbox you can specify your value in milliseconds.
By default it 5000 milliseconds but you can changed it.

Have you added the rel="nofollow" attribute to your WordPress tag cloud? Here's a YouTube video from Matt Cutts talking about the need to add the attribute to tag clouds, where he explains that passing PageRank through the tag cloud links is probably not the most efficient way to do things.
Unfortunately, the WordPress tag cloud is generated via a function call to wp_tag_cloud and, as a result, you cannot simply add the rel="nofollow" attribute like you would a traditional link.
So, I did a bit of searching and stumbled across a nofollow tag plugin at SmartBlogTips.com that will take care of this for you.
That's it. Your WordPress tag cloud should now use the rel="nofollow" attribute.
Thanks SmartBlogTips.com for the simple plugin!

Q: Ubuntu 16.04 won't suspend/hibernate. It turns off directly. I am runnning Ubuntu 16.04 with kernel 4.8.0-54-generic (full: #57~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 24 16:22:28 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux), running unity, with full disk encryption (see partition set up below using default installer options), I have checked that I have SWAP and as of a few minutes ago, I am fully up to date with updates. Every time I try to suspend/hibernate, the laptop just powersoff (but in a faster way than the actual power off) - i.e. if I power off, it takes a few seconds to run some checks, kill processes, etc. If I suspend, it just goes off after 1 second.
NAME                    MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE  MOUNTPOINT
sda                       8:0    0   477G  0 disk
├─sda2                    8:2    0   488M  0 part  /boot
├─sda3                    8:3    0   476G  0 part
│ └─sda3_crypt          253:0    0   476G  0 crypt
│   ├─ubuntu--vg-root   253:1    0 468.1G  0 lvm   /
│   └─ubuntu--vg-swap_1 253:2    0   7.9G  0 lvm   [SWAP]
└─sda1                    8:1    0   512M  0 part  /boot/efi

This happens whether I close the lid, or even use the top right menu to click 'suspend', and even if I use the sudo pm-suspend command.
I already tried changing /etc/systemd/logind.conf to have HandleLidSwitchDocked=suspend but nothing does it.
This problem did not use to happen on older kernels and only happened when updated (but I did not keep track of which was the last kernel it worked on). I have tried this on a non-full disk encrypted laptop and I have the same problem, so I don't think it's an encryption thing. It's crazy that this would happen to all laptops running this particular kernel..
I have also tried all of these options (separately of course!) in /etc/default/grub, again to no avail
#GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_osi="
#GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

Any help/pointers would help. I am aware of this bug tracker but nothing there has helped: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1566302
Thank you!

A gold compass rose is surrounded by slices from eight different landscapes. Clockwise from the upper left they are: a rainforest, a desert with red stripped hills, a grassy plane surrounded by mountains, red mountains, a temperate forest, a lake with a rainbow, snow covered mountains, and an underwater view of a coral reef.
Crossroads is a land of diverse peoples and geographies. In addition to humans, many nonhuman peoples call Crossroads home. From elves to merfolk, vampires to fairies, and trolls to talking animals, each species that lives here has as much cultural diversity as humans do. And all of this diversity creates lively trade, both between the different regions of Crossroads and with those outside of its borders.
In the past there were many wars, but now a unified kingdom spans the land. However these past wars have left many magical hazards. The presence of these hazards has led to the development of professional adventurers, individuals and groups who are called on to address a wide range of problems, both large and small.
And new problems are arising all of the time because the magic of Crossroads has a tendency to go awry. You see, this world is woven from threads of magic. Many of the people living in Crossroads have the ability to manipulate these threads and change their pattern. Unfortunately, making changes to the threads requires the magic user to unweave a small piece of reality. Unwoven magic is unstable and comes with serious risk. Unexpected results are common.
Crossroads also has many unusual magical features—a series of lakes that hover in the air, mountains covered in forests of giant flowers, and hidden gateways to the beautiful and dangerous Other Realm. Perhaps the most important magical feature is the Ring of Mist that encircles all of Crossroads. This mist prevents magic and knowledge from crossing in or out of Crossroads. However people and mundane items can freely come and go and many traders pass through the Ring of Mist every day.
More detail on different parts of the Crossroads Setting can be found in the following articles and media:
Crossroads Lore: Starting off with the creation story that explains Crossroads' unpredictable magic, this section gives depth to many of the unique features of the Crossroads Setting. Included are a discussion of the mysterious Ring of Mist that surrounds Crossroads and a brief tour through different theories of creation, each of which provides an avenue for connecting Crossroads to other settings.
The Other Realm: Inspired by mythology of the fairy realm and the fey, the Other Realm is a fragment of the First Creation that escaped its destruction. This beautiful and dangerous place connects to Crossroads in a small number of magical gateways. Anyone able to find one of these gateways can cross into the Other Realm, but be warned, the Other Realm is shaped by the will of its Three Rulers and it follows its own laws.
Crossroads Character Creation: This is a character creation sequence for the Magic Goes Awry game system that is specific to the Crossroads setting. Currently this comes with five different mini adventures that can each be played immediately after character creation.
Dramatized Readings: A fairy tale style reading of this Crossroads Overview and Crossroads Lore can be found in Crossroads Story Time 1. Future episodes featuring the Other Realm and other aspects of the Crossroads Setting are in progress.
