  1. I think what you published made a ton of sense.
    However, think on this, suppose you wrote a catchier post
    title? I am not saying your content is not good., however
    suppose you added a post title that makes people desire more?
    I mean How to send email using ssh – Blog | Unix is
    kinda vanilla. You could look at Yahoo’s front page and see how they create article
    titles to grab viewers to click. You might try adding
    a video or a picture or two to get readers interested about what you’ve written. Just my opinion, it might make your posts a little
    livelier.
