This afternoon I received a message from Google, informing me that some of my blog posts had been flagged for linking to known sites containing malware. Whenever Google contacts you with news of this nature, you are forced to react, quickly, before they remove you from their global directory. After scouring both my own site and the site I was linking to I could find no hints of malware or debauchery. Since the links weren’t crucial to the blog entries and so I went ahead and removed them.<\/p>\n

In the process of this, well, process<\/i>, WordPress got confused and decided some of these old posts from several years ago were in fact new again, and sent out email notifications along with Facebook and Twitter updates. Sorry about that. Those in charge of update notifications have been sacked.<\/p>\n

According to the latest numbers, 26% of all websites run on WordPress. Additionally, Google is still listed as the busiest website in the world. Combine those two things and when one of them suggests you jump, you jump.<\/p>\n

Sorry about any confusion. We now return you to uour regularly scheduled rockin’ weekend.<\/p>\n
