Scary!

Yesterday Seth called and told me there was something wrong with my blog. I went to see, and found a notice that said "This blog has been disabled."

I frantically clicked on all the buttons that said "Help" or "Contact Blogger", but couldn't figure out what was wrong. Then about 15 minutes later I clicked back on my blog and it was all there again, just as beautiful as ever. I have no idea why Blogger disabled it for awhile.

I am just thankful it is back. That would make me very sad to lose all these blog entries. Thats why I print off many of them for my journal (I try to do that about once a month.)

What I learned when I was frantically trying to find the answer, was that Blogger has been cracking down on spam and porn blogs, and in doing so they have inadvertantly disabled some normal innocent blogs along with the bad ones.

I learned that bad people use Blogger for spam and porn blogs. How they make their blogs look more normal is that they "scrape" items off a normal blog like mine, and put the scraped items on one of their thousands of porn blogs as a cover up. Then if the bad blog gets caught, mine looks like it is related so it is disabled too. And the bad guys are left with hundreds of other fake blogs to keep their evil stuff on.


News: Bryce will by flying in tonight from Utah! Seth and Janette don't get here until the 26th.
