Good morning! Here, have a fresh blueberry muffin.
It’s looking like all is calm on the blogging front. Sorry for all the malware fire drills the last two weeks. Nate said I should give another update and explain what happened. Basically, because I’m on a shared server, I was hacked. Both times it happened, we caught it right away, so no damage was done. Except Google blacklisting me, which was a pain. Everything is fine now, the site is totally safe. Phew! I am probably going to shell out some cash and start paying for a dedicated server, to minimize the risk. Although…my developer said he’s never seen one site get hacked so much in such a short period of time, so I think there was simply a lot of bad luck at play, too. Thanks for trusting me and coming back!
