Paddy’s place has been hit
First things first ~ Happy New Year to you all!
My new year here has gotten off to a rocky start because this site was hit by a hacker and google closed down access to me as a result (they did in Firefox but not in IE7).
I went through the coding and deleted what I thought was dodgy. I submitted my site to google for review and they turned off the alarm bells.
I don’t know how the hacker got in to my coding/site. I’m looking for help and advice as I type so I’m hopeful of getting things sorted here. I have to find out how he got in so that I can try to ensure he doesn’t get in again.
I’m hoping that 2009 will be a better year for this site. I am considering an add on photo gallery to this site or else setting up a totally independent photo display site. I’m also thinking of starting a site dedicated to my new house purchase charting it’s purchase, use, transformation, etc.
By the way …. the house sale price comes with its own boat! Now where did I put my life jacket?

Glad you are sorted
I can’t swim… if I fall overboard will you give me the Kiss of Life
A Great Big HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Here’s wishing you a Happy, Hacker-free 2009!
Wow that’s a bit scary. You’re the second I’ve heard of this happening to. Glad you’re up and running . . .nothing better than mucking around in boats . .just ask Step! I use Flickr for photos. I like it because you can limit access to Friends and/or Family for personal stuff and put up the generic stuff for all to see. Takes ages to upload high res stuff tho and ordering photos is a bit of a pain.
Glad to see you got things sorted, Paddy
I got a shock yesterday when I got the message “reported attack site”!!!
Do we have to call you Captain Bloggit from now on?
Be warned! Grannymar is on the look-out for an old sea dog
