Just thought I’d show you the contrast. The girls have the same OB22 body, but the head sizes are very different.
Jessie’s head is pretty close in size to a Blythe head. Obviously, Ruby’s is much smaller.
I love this brown hair, dark eyed look. I’m always drawn to it. I suppose that’s because I have the same color combination. Or had. It’s now gray hair and dark eyes. Sigh. I miss my brown hair.
Okay. Wednesday was rather insane in terms of the blog. I posted fairly early in the morning. As time went by, I noticed I had no comments, which isn’t the norm. Finally, around noon, I tried leaving a comment and I kept getting a message: This site has a critical error. Okay. I tried the usual things; disabling the plugins to see if there was a conflict, then turning them back on, one by one. Nope. Still had the error. Tried rebooting the site. Nope. Finally, I called my host and a technician fixed it – I’m not sure what he did. But then he said he had run a scan and the site had been hacked (infected with malware.) I was stunned. This has never happened in the time I’ve been with a server and that’s been at least 13 years. He sent me a copy of the files that were altered. The only thing I’d done differently lately was insert some YouTube videos, so I wondered if that had introduced some malware on the backend, because I’m notified if someone manages to sign in to my site and I knew that hadn’t occurred. So I contacted my security company and they ran a check and said they’d cleaned it up. But their response was their standard response and I wanted to know exactly what had been done. So I asked them for more information. In the meantime, I removed all the YouTube videos and edited the posts to include my channel name on YouTube and the name of each video I highlighted, so that readers would have the information and be able to watch the videos on YouTube itself.
The next day, I received a message from another technician and he said he had investigated it thoroughly and the files had not been infected with malware, there had been no hack. It was just a false positive.
Obviously, I was greatly relieved! But it was a crazy 24 hours and it showed in Wednesday’s post, as I kept going back and editing it to let you know what was happening.
Moving forward, I will post a link in the future that will take you directly to my YouTube channel. I think that will work out. Better safe than sorry.
You can see why keeping this blog going is expensive. I pay a yearly fee for the hosting company, a yearly fee for my main security company, a fee for a company to back up my blog posts, so I don’t lose them – and there’s more. But, when something goes wrong, I’m very grateful they’re there.
Today, we are in the middle of yet another “Wind Advisory.” You know how I feel about that. Spring, please get here. I’ve had it with this nonsense.
Trying to maintain my sanity.
Stay safe.
Happy Friday.
