FYI - blogs not opening

If you, or someone you know, uses sitemeter on their blogs, their blog will not open with Internet Explorer. You can remedy this problem by going to your dashboard and deleting the sitemeter page element. Just open the box where you have the sitemeter code and click 'remove.'

I don't know if sitemeter is working to fix this problem, but if you desire a new application to track your blog traffic and stats, I'd recommend statcounter.com.

At this point, we still have no plans to re-open this blog, but I wanted to post the information here as I know people still stop by to access older posts.  Thank you!!

Blog Virus!!!

*BLOG VIRUS UPDATE*

Apparently Blogger is aware of this virus because I just discovered there is a Blogger Forum, you can read more about the virus HERE.

Yesterday when I googled d5d1.com I found out most of my info from another forum called IronFeather, in Blogger's forum they link this website. I do want to warn you because there is inappropriate language used there.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I am going to try to explain this the best way I know how, please bear with me.

There's a nice little blog virus lurking in Bloggy Land, if you notice your site or someone else's taking a year and a day to load there maybe a script d5d1.com in your template, if so DELETE IT (ONLY what I highlighted in RED)!! It looks something like this:
<*head*>< *script* src*=*' http:*//d5d1*.com/b'/*>

your code, then


<*body*><*script* src='*http://d5d1*.com/b'/*> without the (*)

Don't delete the head or body, JUST the scripts!!!

To find it press Ctrl + F, type d5d1 and it should highlight.

Be sure to PREVIEW your template before saving!!!!

Also, if you go to someone's blog that does have it, I hate to say this, but do not comment. Try to find a way to let them know, because you could get this virus, even if you deleted it from your blog already, supposedly you can get it again.

If you need more help, I'm not very html/css savvy, but I'll do my best.
