Strange Goings On ...

If you are a regular reader of this blog then you will know how straightforward it is ... few bits down the side just a diary really of what I am thinking about. If you do access it regularly then you may have noticed on Thursday evening that Google put up a little notice on the site saying that access could damage your computer.

I was driving back from a session in Bristol when a friend rang me to tell me. He had forgotten the url of the blog so had searched for it and had received a warning message. He wondered if I knew of it. I didn't and rang round some other people and they said .... Yes ... if you search in Google then a warning comes up.

When I got home I had a look ... sure enough there was a warning ... but it also told me how to fix the problem. I couldn't actually see one but I worked away following instructions and asked for verification ... next morning all was back to normal.

So ... if you have are reading this now ... everything is okay ... if you are not reading this you might have been put off by a warning message and I can't tell you that ... all is okay ... but it is (if you see what I mean)

If you do get to read this then clearing your cache seems to open things up

Sorry if it disconcerted anyone ... it certainly disconcerted me for a while!

Doug, Google have made it extremely difficult to access your site. This is the problem with blogger blogs, you don't own them and Google can turn you off at any time without warning.

Time to move to a self-hosted Wordpress blog, I'd be happy to help if you need it.

James
