    What makes Compendium's platform so secure?

    Back in April, cryptography expert and computing security gadfly Bruce Schneier, who is a hero to many on the Compendium Engineering Team, provided an excellent TEDTalk on distinguishing between security against a real threat and the perception of security against a minor threat, illustrating very well how most people are awful at seeing the real...

    Speedier Page Load Times Mean Better/Faster/Stronger Blogs for our Clients

    Corporations Still Trying to Figure Out Social Media Control

    Taking Stock of Last Week's Service Disruption

    For the Compendium Engineering team, Friday, October 15, 2010 was a day the likes of which we'd prefer not to see again.  What started out as a wee-hour-of-the-morning service degradation wound up turning into an all-day occasion, complete with sustained heavy server loads and a period of total outage.  If they ever decided to make a TV series...

    Decluttering the Long List of Drafts

    Keyword Strength from a More Rigorous Perspective

    With this week's release came a new look and new behavior for Compendium's Keyword Strength Meter, a widget that appears in several places in our application for indicating the quality of keyword usage in a body of content.  For one thing, we migrated the algorithm from the browser to the server, so that it is computed and updated on draft save...

    Read the Terms of Service Before Signing Up

    One of the recurring questions for potential clients of Compendium is,  "Couldn't I just host my own blog using one of hosted Wordpress services for far less?" Well, yes, you could do that, but then you'd be getting what you pay for.  Most of those services don't provide much in the way of guarantees in service or data recovery. The latest hosting...

    The Reason Compendium Requires Clients to Use CNAME Records

    On the YCombinator Hacker News feed, someone posted a link to a Posterous blog post from yesterday regarding a 1 hour and 19 minute outage they encountered.  Their front end server was hit by an organized, heavy inflow of traffic designed to keep legitimate visitors from accessing their site, and the upshot was that they had to move their server to...
