If you are looking for my sweet friend, Melaine, from My Sweet Savannah, she is over here now.
Please change your blog rolls for her and update everything accordingly!
Due to an e-mail hack, she can no longer access her blog and has had to start over. I know how that feels I went through it a few years ago myself and it is devastating.
What are a few things you can do to make sure it doesn't happen to you?
-It bears repeating to always back up your blog. You can find instructions here.
-If you are on Google, turn on two-step verification so a text message code sent to your phone if your account is accessed from any other computer than you own.
-Do not use the e-mail you sign into your blog account with as your main contact e-mail. Have a separate one for the public.
-Preview your e-mails before opening them if possible.
-If you have gmail, get rid of it and get a private e-mail.
Because believe me. They are out there looking to get you. It's amazing to me the amount of e-mail spam and blog spam I get daily.
Please stop over and say hi to Melaine and give her a show of support!!!!!
