The Russians are Coming~

I’ve managed to wrestle control of my blog from the Russians. I have been getting 3-5 new registrations a day, most of them foreign and most of those Russian, for several months. When ever I’d try to log in I was blocked.

Last week I found an article on line about how WordPress accounts were having their passwords hacked and the accounts were being used for all sorts of malicious fun. More recently even blog giant Gawker was hacked. I received an email from them with a cautionary “you probably need to change your password” note. So, after some research, and a few WordPress fixes, I’ve got control of the blog again.

I think I was fortunate, as far as I can tell, “they”, whoever “they” may be, didn’t actually do anything with the blog while they had control. I’ve seen where in other cases thy posted huge ads for ED drugs, and the like.

What this means is I’ll actually be updating on a more regular basis. I’ve got lots of stuff already written that I need to dust off and edit so I can post. Think of it as my Christmas gift to you, my return to the keyboard.

DASVIDANIYA!

Successful Website Launch

I learned a valuable lesson about patience last month. If you had the opportunity to visit my old website, you know I was well overdue for something that better matched my particular brand of domination. I hired a wonderful website designer to create a new website for me. We met in late June for our initial planning meeting; she interviewed me, toured my studio, and took the time to really understand me, and my style. At the conclusion of the meeting we set a launch date for August 1st. I got busy and set up the photo shoots (I’ll write a post about the photographer and my shoots another time) and got my content together, I was sooo excited about the new site. And then, the waiting began.

The proposed launch date came and went, but no website. Anther week, no website. I got a little frantic, but kept the faith. A third week… oh my. My designer, as it turns out, is a perfectionist. She wanted to be sure I would be happy, she was very thorough and made certain that this site would represent not only me, but my style. I must say, it was certainly worth the wait! The website is far better than I could have imagined it would be.

If you haven’t already, take a look at my website, I LOVE it! And, thank you, Tori, for creating a beautiful website that truly does represent me and my style.
