quick request
Are any of you still having trouble with my site taking you to spam sites? I can’t replicate the trouble myself, and I know a few of you said that clicking on my link from Google Reader takes you to different sites – but does it do it now?
I spent some time deleting an unauthorized user from my account as well as deleting some spammer script in my database code, so please let me know if that did the trick. (God, I hope it did because I’m out of things to try.)
Thank you!
wish i could help! i never had that issue personally..

No, sorry. Not working for me. I even Googled you and tried getting in through that link but it didn’t work either. I had to type in your address. Weird and annoying for you I’m sure.

Ooo, it worked this time!

Sara,
I think it has something to do with cookies. I read that it will misdirect you the first time you try a link, but will then work the second time. Man, once I fix this I am backing up EVERYTHING and then upgrading – what a PITA. ARGH.

I hadn’t had any trouble, but I haven’t linked through Google Reader before today either. I tried it though, and it seems to work fine for me.

Never had that problem and I always click from Google Reader if I’m going to make a comment.

I had the same problem as you described; when I clicked over from Reader, it took me to another site.
Maybe check with your hosting provider; maybe you have a CName problem or something.

I randomly found you on google reader recommended box, and when I tried to click on your link, it took me to a spam site. I then googled Pickles and dimes, and clicked from there, and it also took me to a spam site. Typing in picklesanddimes.com works. But i just wanted to let you know that it is still a problem. I would contact your hosting site, this is something their costumer service should take care of, as it is obvious that your site got hacked, which is THEIR problem at least help fix!
good luck!

Thanks so much, you guys! I contacted my hosting site and they found some additional coding I had missed. They deleted it and say I should be good to go, but if you still have any trouble, let me know!
