PS - Interestingly, Google Corp Showed Up In My Blog Hits Yesterday ...

 

So yesterday, I was only semi-serious about someone having my blog taken down over the post, because frankly, I'm not important enough and I don't get a lot of readers - and I like it that way! 😂

So if that happened, it would be because someone I know reported it, just to be an ass. 

Here is a screen shot of the hits to my blog - and this is Google Corporate (who runs Blogger), which I've only seen once before:

(*Pay no attention to the 1.37K hits - those are mostly advertising bots from stores and sites, which happens when you have a new post.

This means 1 of 2 things ...

1) Google corporate is pinging out for terms like Charlie Kirk and checking posts automatically.

                                            -OR- 

2)  Someone did, in fact, try to report me and Google corp viewed the post - and considering I don't have many readers, it was likely someone I know - just to be a harassing a-hole.

And the reason I know that is because the time I saw that google.corp entry before, someone I know did indeed try to report me, just to be an ass and harass me - but failed miserably.

(Blogger/Google let me know it was reported, but I was not asked to take the post down.)

Remember, I have a tracker. Not a detailed one with your IP, but essentially, if you did, I know exactly who you are (but I already had a pretty good idea anyway). 

So read my last post now, ladies and gentlemen, in case I am asked to take it down - judge for yourselves -  was anything said that deserves removal?

Also, this morning, when trying to view my main blog page, I was asked to bypass a security certificate telling me my site was insecure and left open for hackers for the first time (which I don't have a screen shot of because I bypassed it). 

That may just be coincidence.

Regardless, I am in the process of upgrading to HTTPS now.

The process to change to HTTPS sometimes takes a bit to check availability of the address.

So if you can't reach my site for a bit, don't assume my blog has been taken down - it just means my address is changing to https, pending availability  😂

Also, just to be extra safe from past experience years ago, if, in the meantime, anything strange shows up here?

Remember, the lack of security certificate screen showing up does indeed mean it's open for those so inclined to hack.

And lastly, the only reason I wouldn't be able to upgrade my address to an https address is that somebody already owns it.

If I am successful at obtaining the https address, I will let you know  privately.

If I am not successful at obtaining the address, I will let you know HERE.

Which means, anything at that https address before I say so is NOT from me.
