I am still in the process of working on my blog and getting all of the information back on, but I wanted to share a special slide show that I had posted awhile ago that really hit home again for me. I hope that it makes a difference in your day today as well.

Hackers apparently have nothing better to do than to mess up our blogs recently! Sorry for the site being down, and all images on Blogroll have disappeared. You can still see most of the posts if you click on the links to the left for each category.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
And, If you happen to have a blog through WordPress and you are getting hit with Google Bombs, I found this info:
Why on earth would a spammer target a search engine on your blog? Let’s start from the beginning. Several years ago Google pioneered a search technique called PageRank. Basically what it does is, in addition to looking at the content of a page they index, they also look at who links to a page and what that link says. This technology is what made Google very good at returning relevant results and made it the most popular search engine today. Because their ranking system relies so heavily on PageRank people can sometimes game the system in what’s called “Google Bombing.”
A google bomb is when a large number of different websites link to a page with the same link text to influence the ranking of that page for a search term.
This brings us back to the spammers. A spammer might have a site that sells viagra and wants to be at the top of a search for viagra on Google, so to create the effect of a google bomb they leave comments on hundreds or thousands of weblogs linking to their site with the link text “viagra”. They don’t really care if you see it, in fact they’d rather you didn’t because you would delete it, they just want the search engine to see it when they index your page.
