Well, praise the LORD! Kendra at
New Life On A Homestead is back up and running after the very trying experience of having her blog hacked by an automated crawler of some kind. She still doesn't have all the graphics working, a few pages won't load, and she lost a few posts that hadn't been backed up prior to the crawler, but thankfully, she does not have to start from scratch. In time, she'll get the rest sorted out, but it would be awesome if we could send some traffic her way today and let her know we're still around. And for all those who "liked" her on Facebook during this bump in the road, THANK YOU! That is part of what it means to cultivate the homestead community!
By the way... her message to all of you who use a platform that requires backing up... do it daily!
UPDATE at 10:45 on 2/22/12:
Unfortunately, whatever is attacking her site has done it again (after being problem free for 24 hours!). Please pray for Kendra so that this can be resolved. It's very frustrating and time consuming for her. I can only imagine! I'll try to let you know when she gets it resolved.
I will go by and visit! I'm so thankful she didn't lose everything. I can't imagine...
ReplyDeletePlease do not think that I am naive, but,

She still has a trojan on her website. My computer detects it when going to her site.
ReplyDeleteI just tried to click over and my browser said it blocked a threat at her website :( So she might not have all the kinks out yet poor thing!!!
ReplyDeleteUgh. Amy, you are such a sweetie. But I'm re-hacked. I don't know what to do. Better take this down :( Sorry *sigh*
ReplyDeleteKendra, if you need any help... I have experience in this. Feel free to email me, my schedule right now is pretty open, meg@oceanwidedesigns.com no one should have to go through this!
DeleteKendra, I'm sorry to hear you are going through this. I never thought a blog could get hacked. Do you have any add ons from other sites (pictures, blinkies, buttons, etc)?
DeleteI hope this is over fast!
Oh thats awful . Some people need to get a life and leave others alone ! I will pop over and say hey ! Thanks for letting us know !
ReplyDeleteP.S Have you heard that Google Friend Connect will be no longer by the end of the month . Here is the link to explain it all ! http://www.linkytoolsblog.com/ Bloggers are tring to spread the news as I had a week ago about this so that no one looses followers or bloggers in blog land !

ReplyDeleteI have had bloggers come to my site and because I have her on my friends list it gives people a warning about her blog and that my blog may be affected...and it says do not go forward...I hate warning people about her blog...I will give an update on mine...
ReplyDeleteWhy can't people leave others alone...Tell her I do love her site..I was always reading it...it also gave a warning about another homestead site to.. I don't know if they hit ones that homestead in their blog name I have no idea...Lisa
Hi AMy,
ReplyDeleteI was so happy and then sad to hear that she's having trouble with her site ...again. I'll definitely keep her in prayer!!!! I'll stick around till everything is up and running again :) :) :) Love and hugs from the ocean shores of CAlifornia, Heather :)
I think we finally got it back up :) It was a very detailed hacking... worst I've ever seen! Still combing through everything, but it should be good to go!
