First Pitch: Technical Difficulties

Published:

I was going to write about Jeff Karstens tonight, or about the ridiculous contract given to Rafael Soriano by the Washington Nationals (two years, $28 M, plus they lose a first round pick). However, I didn’t have much time today since I was busy fixing some technical difficulties on the site.

Early this afternoon I noticed that Chrome was bringing up a malware warning. However, Google Webmaster Tools wasn’t showing an issue. After a few hours, the issue finally reached the webmaster tools, red flagging the site. I had to contact my web host to check things on their end, and check a few things on my end. Eventually it was learned that there was a script on the site that was out-dated — specifically the script that re-sizes the images for the main page and any other article. That made the site vulnerable, leading to the warning. Once the problem was fixed I had to wait for Google to take down the warning.

Long story short, the site is now fixed. Thanks to everyone who contacted me about the issue throughout the day. Since the site was red flagged for most of the day, here’s what you missed. I’ll get to that Karstens article tomorrow.
