About six months ago I received a notice from my web host informing me that there was malware somewhere  on my webpages.  This didn’t surprise me because it includes subdomains that I use for student projects.  The hosting service told me that they would be happy to clean it up for a hefty premium–far more than they charge for hosting the sites. They made it clear that it is my responsibility to prevent malware in lines of code that I don’t understand.

All that the say two things.  I’ve sufficiently cleaned so that I am back in business and I’m for a new hosting service because that was just ridiculous.  If you have any suggestions,  I’m happy to hear them.

Since my webpage was shut down in the great malware adventure of 2015-2016,  I have become the Director of Education for Great Business Networking (GBN).  I write a weekly educational piece (21  lessened since January)  and I often have extra material that would’ve been great on the blog if it had been up and running.  I hate to see good aha’s go to waste.

I will be blogging more regularly if for no other reason than to not be a hypocrite. Let me explain.  You see,  four or five of those lessons have been about social media.  It seems kind of silly to explain the process will not engage in the process.  I’m back.  Let’s continue the conversations we had before.
