2 Days to go. Tell your friends, "No viruses!"

UPDATE: All links to the "attack" site have been removed.

No, I'm not talking about swine flu. I was informed recently that some browsers, the newer ones, that ostensibly check for "attack sites," are falsely reporting that this blog has viruses.

No, it doesn't. How can a blog run by Google have viruses?

Part of the problem is that some people have uploaded malicious files on the free upload host I've been using, uploadho.com But just because some people have uploaded a bad file somewhere doesn't mean the whole site is bad. That's like saying that a virus on the iTunes site means all their downloads are infected. They aren't.

But apparently, Google has labeled that site an "attack site," and, lumping the baby with the bath water, has thrown everything out that points to that site too. But if you download my ZIP or PDF files from this site, you'll be fine.

In any event, I'm in the process of re-uploading all the files to another upload host so this won't be a concern. (Tell me this isn't a labor of love.) That should clear up the false warnings. UPDATE: ALL links have been redirected to a new upload host.

In the meantime, if your friends report a problem, please tell them it's okay to view this site. They don't have to download any of the files if they don't want to. Please tell them to take a look, as there's only two days to go until Judge Hinson's last day. Two days to tell your story in front of the Prescott courthouse.
