Rumours of my demise... aww, FFS! Again?!

Just in case anyone - like Joerg and a few others who emailed me - were wondering... yes, my blog was deleted again yesterday!

Again I appealed, and posted on Blogger's aptly-named "Something's Broken" forum... thankfully this time it didn't take them a week or more to restore it, and *fanfare* this time I actually got an "apology" email (likely a form letter, but still) saying I had been mistakenly thought to have violated "Terms of Service" (their way of saying "we thought you were a spam site", I think) and confirmation my blog was being restored (unlike the zero official communication I received last time, after the initial deletion information).

I'm still trying to get a proper answer as to what triggers the (pretty clearly) auto-detection of my blog as "bad" (every time it's been deleted, the reason in the first email is "malicious javascript", which suggests my customized template or gadgets). Heck, I've even had someone run my site through a malware checker! Nothing I can find (though I've removed meta data for "description" and "keywords" from my template today, in case that was it) and nothing anyone at Blogger/Google can/will tell me.

Anyway, at least I'm back again, but for how long... who knows? As I said on my old Yahoo Group page, the internet ain't what it used to be, sadly.

Hope everyone enjoys the new posts. It was ironic that after several weeks of feeling despondent and not "up to posting", the day I felt inspired and refreshed, I got deleted.

Do please keep the comments and feedback coming... I've more silly ramblings I'd like to post soon (and the super hot guest contribution I mentioned before will be up this weekend too!), but I need to know folks are still out there and interested in this disappearing-reappearing blog of mine.

Right... onwards and upwards, eh?
