Update on Natural Progression about Blogger and Malware
Blogspot is currently experiencing an influx of new settings and people we who use blogger in the millions by the way have experienced since 2007 many different changes. From using the older type of format settings to the newer Javascript enabled template to now the newer type of blogger platform. This is just another example of Natural Progression. The book on Lulu is slowly but surely still being developed and an apology to all the readers, subscribers and fans who wish to get a copy of this book this post is a remit announcement and apology to say the book will not completed for a few more months. Previously the goal was to have this book out for April. Unfortunately this is not the case. So to make up for this I am going to help you as a blogger here on Blogspot to adjust your blog and remove any malware that may be showing in your page.
Last month I went through a couple of blogs of mine and removed the text that was coming up to show the page warning a read page. Now the way I dealt with this problem on two different blogs is completely different. In both cases if left long enough the blog would have been completely have been de indexed from the organic search engines. Similarly the problem is very simple and the measures you need to troubleshoot this problem yourself if indeed you are experiencing this I am sure this will help. The good news is most of the guidance to fix comes within the goodies that Google provides in settings and API.
By going to Web central with the same account you have registered with your Blog*spot account. There you will find if the blog is registered correctly, if it is not then do that. The reason for this is because the Google adds you enable in web central also in the link hub of your URL gives a full diagnostic of the problem you may or may not be having. In both case I had trouble with a link. The two links were different. One of the links was a reciprocal back-link and the other was from outdated software that gave the other blog authority. In both cases unbeknown to me the source of these links had been getting up to no good, hence the malware detection on my Blogspot page.
Another example and not something I recommend is taking Java script images that are provided on Google. The Google search box often has very impressive images and, yes the temptation to blog these images caused trouble for another one of my blogs. This example does not create malware, but what it does do if spotted by the hand that feeds you creates a whole number of page loading problems. This imaging problem is the same across the board. Progressively the sharing of images has become more frequent and the hosting of images on personal blogs not only has copyright necessities even when correctly cited can bring your blog into disrepute. Flicker is a good source for information because if you do choose someone else's image they will be notified that you have used them. You can contact them and ask them nicely before hand or you can just choose to take your own images and continue to use freely branded images and Wickapedia through the use of various well known editors.
Finally I end on this tip if the HTML gets to much to know where your malware problem is coming from there is a help page where you can submit your problem where by Google operatives will get back to you. If all else fails not to worry just take your blog back to either the 2003 or 2007 template, but remember in many cases if you add any other templates to the 2007 version the right handed column may now be obsolete. Hope this helps and thanks for your patience.
