theroades.com back up and running!

Great news! theroades.com is back up and running, "badware" free! After several hours of clean-up, I requested a review from Google, who gave the site a clean bill of health. Those of you using Firefox may still see the "warning" page, but if you click the link to view the site, all should appear as normal (please let me know if this is not the case). Internet Explorer, Safari, and Chrome users should no longer see the warning page.

I published an article with a summary of my lessons learned and changes to the site. That post did not get sent out because I had forgotten to change the email subscription settings back to the main site. Please visit the site to read that article.

Ah, the life of a web hobbyist, eh? ;)

theroades.com is officially dead

this evening i attempted to log in to our site at theroades.com to find a mega-fail message. apparently, google has flagged our site as a spam site. i found out that this means a lot of trouble. furthermore, i have no way to log in to my admin panel and fix the problem. i'm not sure google thought this one through. so for now, all photo galleries, videos, blog posts, and our wiki are unavailable. i was able to snag a backup copy of the database before i was thoroughly locked out, but i have no timeline for restoring the site. meanwhile, i may use this posterous site to post updates about the original site.

in other words, for now don't expect any further updates from the site.
