This may not be the kind of information you want from your Web and marketing company but … we came across some good ol’ fashioned health tips for “H1N1 Prevention” everyone could use. This info can be used to prevent all types of viruses throughout flu season and beyond:
1. Frequent hand washing (most viruses enter through the nostrils or mouth/throat)
2. Hands-off-face approach (is always best practice, anyway)
3. Gargle twice daily with warm salt water or Listerine to rinse away viruses that have entered the throat/mouth but have not yet proliferated the body yet (viruses usually take a few days to take hold).
4. Rinse nostrils with saline (if you can stand it)
5. Keep up with your vitamin C’s and Zinc to boost the immune system
6. Drink hot fluids often as they may rinse viruses into the stomach where they will die before they can proliferate the body to make you sick.
Stay healthy!!

Not only do blogs need to be kept up-to-date (in terms of content), but is it is your responsibility to make sure that you are running the latest software version. Security best practices dictate making software upgrades as they become available–especially for onsite blogs. The reason: updates usually fix an exploit that is out there. Exploits are nearly always driven by an entity with not so nice intentions (i.e. spammer, mischief maker, or other). You can usually see what version your onsite blog is running once you login. It will clearly say — Version xxx; latest version available xxx. If you compare the two version numbers, you’ll be able to discern if you are up-to-date. If you pay attention now, you can avoid problems later.
