Hey guys! I just wanted to pop this up here so you were all aware. A blogging friend of mine is having some trouble with web crawlers on her blog. Of course, there is no way of knowing what they are up to; they could be malicious or totally harmless. I noticed some unusual viewing activity as of this morning on this blog too, so I am wondering if I have been visited by the spiders as well. If the strange viewing patterns continue, I will have to switch the blog to a "private" setting for a week. Hopefully this would discourage the spiders from returning, but I don't know. If I do have to switch it to private, it would just give you a "denied permission" message when you open the URL. After I switch it back to "public" all the content will be there, just as before. No changes!
PLEASE NOTE: THE BOTS POSE YOU NO DANGER. YOU ARE TOTALLY SAFE.
If they are malicious, I stand to lose my content and photos. If it is a "good" spider, then it is just collecting info for the search browsers of something like the wayback machine. No circumstance would cause them to give you any trouble. :)
Thanks for reading! I just wanted you to know that I WILL be back if you se the blog disappear for a short time. Hopefully it won't come to that!!
