At some point someone hacked my blog. Nothing showed up on the blog itself so aside from some things that had been broken and I couldn’t figure out how to fix I had no idea. But some nice guy emailed me to tell me that he found my blog searching for webmaster tools and the source code showed a ton of invisible spam links. I attempted to upgrade my version of wordpress myself and failed miserably so I recruited Mix who patiently worked through it all with me. Friday night, Mix, Boyfiend and I spent the evening searching for cars and upgrading wordpress. We’re party animals.
We found and deleted the invisible links, upgraded to WP 2.whatever it is these days and all was well. Until yesterday when I checked my stats and saw I had something like a kajillion page views from people searching for ring tones. I followed the referrer pages to the various Google searches. Each search landed me on the front page of the blog- no mention of N@kia, Ericcs@n, or T-M@bile to be found. Viewing the source code also showed nothing. I went back to the Google searches and viewed the cached pages. Somehow, whoever hacked my blog was able to actually replace it with something else entirely.
Freaky shit. Anyway, it seems to be fixed now. The cache is still screwy, but I can’t find anything in the site itself. I feel sorry for the people who have come here searching for Christian ring tones. They are definitely in the wrong place.
