Blocked by Google

Several folks have told me recently that Google is identifying my site as evil. I assure you it isn’t, however I know why google has flagged it. A couple of weeks ago my site was hacked and a hidden iframe was introduced. I cleaned it up, changed my password, upgraded wordpress and even changed the theme. All should now be well.

I have contacted google and we’ll see how long it takes to no longer be flagged as ‘Evil’.

    [...] than I thought. Looks like Google/Firefox released the lock on Rob Yates.  That was fast.  I did some research today, looking for a new (to me) car, and found out [...]
