I haven’t been able to access your site from work because of the firewall! I thought maybe you got a bug! Hope all is well, I am on my iPad tonight!

Nasty and deepest sympathies. Install WordFence as well as Akismet or BadBehavior, and check all files and database entries for base64 encoded links, particularly in the theme files.

Sometimes I feel like sidebars are like humpty Dumpty. Once they break, they never go back together again.

Glad you’re back up. I tried to pop over earlier in the week and saw you were down. It’s no fun being hacked. My webmaster got hacked a few months ago and she’s still bitter about it.

It appears that many sites are being hacked lately. This is a problem and I am sorry to hear that you are being affected.

My one instance of advice is to change your wordpress table prefixes in your database. Hackers know this prefix and will inject sql into wordpress blogs to exploit them. If you change the table prefixes, then it is one more security step. There are many great articles online about doing it.

Sorry to hear that your site got hacked this week, there seems to be a bit of that going around lately. Good luck on getting everything back up and running as it should.
