pregnancy and website virus….a little bit for all
there are 2 subjects that have been on my mind a lot lately, they are totally unrelated. motherhood and viruses.
i am 12 weeks pregnant. as i am thrilled about having our second baby, it comes with challenges. i have been very sick the past few weeks and therefore have not been able to get into the studio.
now, i am feeling better. but seriously lack motivation. i am sketching, thinking and reading a lot, which i find all to be great things to do when uninspired. however, i miss it but just can’t seem to get in there. i have found that being a mom is difficult in the creative process because there is always something else that needs attention. there is always someone that is needing you and totally and completely deserving of you as well.
i think a book should be written about this subject. motherhood and the creative process it could be called. anyone ever heard of such a book?
next subject: viruses
thanks to a very wonderful blog friend, meredith. thank you so much. i discovered that my blog had a trojan virus attached to it.
for the past month i have been dealing with this. my great professional web friend, Clark, came to the rescue.
he loaded an old version of my site and saved me…..totally saved me from having to redo my entire site. i learned some valuable lessons from this and i would love to share them, as i am not in the studio very much right now so i can do this instead…..it makes me feel useful.
*passwords to everything must always be a unrecognizable, a capital letter helps and a number too, physically write it down, don’t store it in computer or ever send it over email.
*when having wordpress there is a responsibility you have to update plugins often, they are updated because bugs were found and so you need the new version. as far as updating wordpress itself, no need for this as often but maybe sometimes as it may change some things about your site
*delete all spam messages sent as comments, report as spam
*always have an updated version of your ftp files saved, this is your site, if something happens you can always have the clean one to upload
*for wordpress you need to have the security scan plugin, it scans your site for unusual items.
that is all for now. I have learned a lot from this experience about how hackers are just sitting there typing nonsense in until they get in. there is no order to it, no reason for the sites they hit. If you are vulnerable in any way, they will strike. i mean my passwords were all the same and had my dogs name in them, talk about vulnerable.

Hi Annie,
Good to have you back on line and what a terrible thing to have happen to you.
My sister thinks it is 9 year old bored boys who are sitting around with nothing to do but write computer viruses.
I am glad you could chase it down and thanks for sharing your ordeal with us.
A baby! Congrats! I hope you are feeling better soon.

Congratulations on your second child. You should be writing a book about it. A suggestion for a title could be: Motherhood – from an artists perspective.
