Hoping things are back to normal.

After consulting with a computer expert "internet police" friend, I think I figured out our hacker problem.  As it turns out, there was some corrupt code that caused a foreign (Romanian) site to open up and push out the blog.

I have 3 browsers, Safari which came with my iMac, FireFox and Chrome.  I like both FireFox and Chrome but the ergonomics of Chrome are much nicer and the features are great, clean and simple.  I recommend it if you need a better browser.

I added a block called NonScripts from the Chrome Web Store...I also added AdBlock to get rid of the annoying ads throughout any page I'm browsing.  I highly recommend that you keep your computers up to date by checking for updates and staying current.  A lot of times these fixes are free...just look for them from reputable sites or talk to people you trust to help you.

So far, I'm so glad I got this blocker program.  If this happens again, I can instantly block the offender, instead of going through days of anguish and worry.  Yes, tears were shed and some hairs either turned gray or were just pulled out until I got this fixed.

Just to stay on the safe side, I'm keeping things simple.  It is better that way.  I hope this didn't cause any problems for any of you.
