Aaaagh!
Right, I got your attention π But it isn’t funny and I should know better being a web coder.
I left my WordPress contact page here without any real security on it so I just got hijacked and lost all of my WordPress and another accounts emails which began flooding everywhere with spam. All it takes is a ‘captcha’ code to stop any bots etc. So I shall disappear for a bit as it has indeed made a mess, I have to sort through to get the good stuff out. And I also must apologize if anyone has made a personal contact to me from that Contact Page…if I can find you among the 100,000 or so emails…I’ll reply. But I looked at the mass and cried…I’ve probably won the Lottery in an email in there too somewhere and I’ll never know π β€οΈ ππ½ π¦ π π€£
Oh my goodness gracious Mark! That’s awful! I am glad you’re back up! Hugs to you!
Thank you Yvonne, it was just such a simple bit of code to do properly but that delay in fixing it created a mess. I will put my contact page back up soon, I’ve just been sidetracked by another site I created got hit too. But this time I’ll blame the host. I thought (and expectations are my fault π), that their servers would at least have some basic protection from spam and virus’s etc. Apparently not, so it went down too. I wonder if there is a ‘message’ in there somewhere π€£ Hugs gratefully received, it wasn’t a nice time!π β€οΈ ππ½ π¦
What a nightmare. I am so sorry this happened to you. I am very glad you are back. α
Ah Cindy, I’ve actually been hit again, even after huge update to login details, removing a very poor contact page etc. There isn’t anything left to fix…I may have to do carrier pigeons next π€£ π
Dearest Mark… As I return from my own very long break from the blogging world today.. I am so sorry to hear you are experiencing these technical difficulties.. I hope you can soon fix them and work them out…
Sending you my thoughts dear friend, and hope you are able to recover your work..
Love and Blessings and I hope all is well with you in other respects.. as we navigate these changing times for us all..
Hugs Sue β€οΈ β¨ππ
Hey dear lady, good to hear from you. Your heart needed a break, a shuffle and room to become what you needed to be within yourself. It still has a bit to go so do it gently, its like being very tired so you have a sleep and you wake up feeling much better but still tired inside. It will take some time as emotional changes are so much more profound, even in their ‘little’ stretches. And thank you, this technology thing can be a pain. I have an intermittent hiccup and I’ve swapped out everything in the computer and its still being a pain. Only the graphics card to go but I don’t have a spare so I’m just going to have to bite the bullet and get another with all the fun and games that is going to take with the current circumstances. Everything else is just doing its normal thing and testing who I am but hey, if it didn’t I’d be getting into trouble somewhere β€οΈ A big hug returned kind lady, just breathe and go with the flow π β€οΈ ππ½ π¦
Yes Taking deep breaths dear Mark. and being gentle.. small bites of WP… and large bites of rest and creativity… My eyes will not focus for long on the type with out blurring, And yes the Loops to jump through in the reality world right now are just not worth engaging in… I truly am delighted to be making the effort to interact in the blog sphere again… I have a Long ways in catching up with people… But all is meant to be at its own pace.. and all is as it’s meant to be…. Including our Consciousness…. Which despite the outerword appearances from the msm.. Consciousness took a huge leap in the right direction!… β€οΈ
Good to hear then Sue, just take it easy and do you. You haven’t missed too much, just all these people chatting away backwards and forwards π€£ And I hope this ‘step’, as hard as it may be to step through, opens your heart further to that place for us all π β€οΈ ππ½ π¦
π β€οΈ π
Mark, I am so sorry to hear about this. Like any of us needs any more stress!! I haven’t seen you in my last two posts so I stopped by to make sure you are OK and I find this. You are in my prayers. BIG HUGS!!!! Sending LOVE and hope that you get this mess straightened out. xoxoxo
Well, it keeps me off the streets and out of trouble Amy π. Mind you, I can think of a million other things I’d rather be doing. The hardest part is I have to research another system out as I haven’t needed to buy a system for years and the technology moves on so fast. The last time I looked they were still using abacus’s π€£. I shall return, its a bit slow using my mobile phone, it’s like sewing by touch in the dark. You have to jab yourself in the finger to know it has come through and ready for the next loop. Much love to you dear lady and thank you for the kind words, they will give me strength xox π β€οΈ ππ½ π¦ π π€£
Oh no. Sorry to hear that, Mark. Take care of yourself and follow your spirit. Blessings galore, MW

The fun and the games with technology dear lady, I’m sure someone said it is to make our life easier π β€οΈ ππ½ π¦ π π€£
So sorry Mark. My spam folder was hijacked a long time ago. I don’t even go in there. I don’t have a contact page but did have an e-mail address up for awhile but I took it down thinking I was asking for trouble. Sure hope you haven’t lost any of your posts.
No posts or personal emails thankfully Michele. It was what they call a hijacking, they get a hold of your email address and crack its password or use my very insecure contact page because it is open and automatically sends to me, they just take it over and then flood everywhere ‘out there’ with tons of spam. And any that don’t reach a destinations gives back into my email a ‘Return To Sender’. So just in one day I had 50,000 email returns to me. Trying to find ‘real’ emails was a pain. We tend to be a bit ‘it won’t happen to me’ but when it does it’s messy. Time to at least put a descent ‘captcha’ on it. And yes that can be a bit frustrating for people wanting to use it but it is either that or get hit. But a good lesson for later π β€οΈ ππ½ π¦
π oh no. Pray that all pilots are on and youβre ready to take off soon. π Youβre in Australia right? In the USA, a few weeks ago FB was down. Just the other day my Instagram account was hijacked. Thereβs a part of me that says turn it all off – for good π
Ah, so you know what I mean when you can feel ‘much’ happening against a direction taken dear lady. It has been happening in different ways for a while now but I love the work so I’m hoping that it is just asking for a little less focus and take some time out. And yes, I’m ‘down under’, our ‘bits’ have a long way to swim to reach you guys. And I’m hearing Facebook even changed its name, I think their name has been in the news too much lately for the wrong reasons. Oh, and I just found you in the spam folder. After so many years it suddenly decided you were the enemy π€£. Hopefully I just need a holiday and will return fired up and ready to roll π β€οΈ ππ½ π¦ π π€£
Oh, no, I am sorry this happened to you, Mark. Take your time and don’t freak out. Unfortunately, this is the time of cyber crime. Wishing you all the best and know that we will be there whenever you have the nerve to get it all done and get back to us again. Much love, Mark!
Thank you dear lady, your words are greatly appreciated. It is just that ‘blocking’ thing happening again, where it appears I need to step away from all my computer work for a bit. What are the odds of being hijacked at exactly the same time as the motherboard going down the drain so that I struggle to fix what is happening. Now I have to go do some research on what is currently happening in the technology before I buy another one. In the meantime every time I turn the computer on it is taking ages to load or open something, its like using an abacus to fire it up π€£. Love and light back to you Erika, may your abacus’s never fail π β€οΈ ππ½ π¦ π π€£
Gosh, that is such a pain in the neck. Maybe it would make sense to just take a break and get back to it later with a fresh mind… and who knows what happens in between. However, that modern technology can drive you nuts and I hope it means well with you soon again. Big hugs to you, Mark!
Ohhh noooo! I was wondering where you had disappeared to! π¬ππ
I had a double whammy, my computer lost the plot and went down as well so it has become an interesting exercise. In fact I have been blocked in so many ways on my website project and on here over the last few months that I’m really beginning to think Spirit wants me to step back for a while, I must need to go for more walks or something π Thank you for your thoughts kind lady, I shall see how I go β€οΈ ππ½ π¦ π π€£
Definitely take your walksβ¦π Spirit always knows best. I hope your not gone for to long you help me tremendously and you are much appreciated πππ
Most definitely not, I will just be more sidetracked so I will probably just ‘like’ a post a bit more rather than a big comment (but Spirit normally urges those that need it π). And if I cross my fingers I should be firing on all cylinders in a couple of weeks….I hope π β€οΈ ππ½ π¦ π π€£
Oh, and thank you for your lovely words. Gratefully received and returned in kind β€οΈ ππ½ π¦
