Blogger post warning

New Security for OUR web page..
Ron Thomas


There is currently no way for spam to enter our webpage unless someone emails the webpage with a story to post. If the special posting address is put into the address book of your computer and you do not have anti-virus protection on your computer you have a good chance of forwarding spam to our web page...

What this means is that if you post a story to the page using the special address feature you should put your name on it so we know who wrote the piece and so we can keep track of the computers using this feature. That will help us find the computer that needs help the next time we are attacked. Meanwhile, you can even further reduce the incident of attack by not putting the special posting address in your mail program's address book . I like Cleda's method... She has the address taped to the frame of her computer display.

If you don't have anti-virus protection you can email your article to me and I will post it for you. My computer is protected from incoming anti-virus and so you won't infect the web page.
