Hi all:
This is just to say sorry to everybody who experienced difficulties trying to access my posts yesterday. It seems that the problem was not everywhere or for everybody, but it affected many people who tried to open them using Google Chrome. For some reason they decided my blog wasn’t mine or was pretending to be something else. I have no idea if it had to do with the updates of plugins, WordPress, or with anything individual (although I hadn’t changed anything). I had the hosting company check and they couldn’t find anything wrong. Then I removed everything I had (including all the affiliated ads).
I also tried to send several messages to Google telling them this was my website. Then I found a post suggesting a method to verify your blog or site, and that resulted in you probably receiving a mysterious post with nothing much on it.
I have no idea what it was all about, but let’s say my Friday wasn’t very good.
Today it’s sunny, and at least for me the blog seems to be working, so I hope things are back in working order. Please, do be reassured that the blog is OK, I’m a bit stressed but OK, and if you can, check the posts from yesterday, a wonderful feature about Wendy Janes’s new book WHAT TIM KNOWS (here) and a surprise post from me about Misty Pink (yes, it’s me too, only me being young and silly) and her book WE ARE FAMILY that was FREE yesterday and today (so don’t miss the chance if you know anybody who likes YA and check here).
What Tim Knows by Wendy Janes
Thanks to you all for reading, for your patience, and for just being there. And let’s hope today it’s a peaceful and worry free day for all. Be well!
How very frustrating, Olga. I do use Google Chrome because I’ve had problems with WordPress when using Safari. It’s a problem both WordPress and Apple don’t seem to know anything about, so I know how frustrated you have felt yesterday when getting those messages about your blog. Anyway, good to hear it’s all sorted now.
Hope all is well with you?
Thanks, Hugh. I’m fine, although just came back to the UK and I’ve had a very busy week trying to sort things out (still much to do) and settle for a few weeks (perhaps). To make it even more confusing, the Hosting company, Site Ground, who’re very good, didn’t experience the same problem when checking the site, so it was difficult for them to do something. But hey, here we are. I hope you’re well too. Are you coming to Manchester?
Afraid not, Olga. But, I will be at Llandelio on December 10th, as that is where I am planning on launching the book. I hope you have a great time at the Manchester Book Fair. Looks like it’s going to be quite a large event.
Best of luck! Of course count on me for spreading the word. How exciting! I don’t know where I’ll be in December but if I can I’ll come to give a hand Not sure I have the stamina for the Manchester one, but I’ll start training. 😉
Thanks, Olga. Once all the work is finished, on putting the book together, I’ll be publishing quite a lot about it on my blog. Other than a one-off post this coming Monday, I’m still not sure when I’ll be back to writing on my blog. Hopefully, by the end of the Summer. There seem to be quite a few bloggers taking a Summer break.
We’ll all be waiting. Yes. I think people are on their holidays both, readers and writers (and many who are both). I might have to get involved in a project that won’t leave me a lot of time for online presence either, but I won’t know until next week.
Good luck with it if it comes your way, Olga.
Thanks, Hugh. I doubt it but I’ll keep you posted. And don’t hesitate and get in touch when you have news about your book (sometimes I can’t see for looking!)
Very glad it is all sorted now, Olga. Have a relaxing weekend.
Best wishes, Pete.
Thanks, Pete. It’s been confusing to say the least. 🙂
No te preocupes, lo importante es que ya está solucionado. Un abrazo y feliz sábado y mejor fin de semana!
Gracias, Frank. El viernes entre una cosa y otra fue de campeonato. A ver si aprovecho que hace sol hoy (casi todo el tiempo que llevo aquí no ha parado de llover)
Hey, you’re back! lol – I mean, it is good that my computer had ceased trying to protect me from you. Cheers
Thanks Annette. Mine was also telling me I wasn’t really me! Perhaps that’s the argument for a story…
Ha! And a Twilight Zone-ish story at that! My Saturday wasn’t any better than my Friday — all the way up to these last hours. Here’s to Sunday. Cheers & hugs
Indeed. Yesterday I tried for low-key approach to the day and at least it was sunny. Today I had another technological scare but now I’m trying to keep my fingers crossed for the rest of the day (when I’m not typing!). Take care!
I had problems with Chrome that day too. So frustrating. Lovely books, must read.
Thanks, Inese. Yes, it was a memorable day for all the wrong reasons in my case. I hope you enjoy the books and things go well. 🙂
Today and tomorrow are the most hectic days, I think I won’t sleep tonight at all, because I have to finish some assignments before I leave 🙁
Fingers crossed. I’ll be thinking of you. Hugs.
Thank you Olga. Hugs!
