    Its not a hack, it his comment Spam catcher. He said already in his comments I asked him what it was. But apparently it must really screwed it up becuase his whole site is not viewable.

    Someone is probably uploading index.html to his root folder which will load on top of his index.php.. The site title changes as well..

    LOL .html WILL NOT SHOW OVER .php LOL


    PS THE SITE IS STILL DOWN ! ! !

    even though it is a smart idea of a " PR " stunt - no pun intended - but his site is still down and i have never really heard of the guy - as i dont find a reason for blogs in general - but his site is still down and now i doubt anyone would let that happen for so long . . . if they were the ones that did it

    John Chow just Commented on the post at webomagzine saying:

    "No, the blog wasn’t hack. That was my WP Ban plugin going haywire. Instead of banning the list of IP I had set the plugin banned everyone! It’s all fixed now."

    I agree there. Never really took to the dot com mogul tagline, I don't know, maybe I havn't looked into the content enough on the blog.

    He is not one of the Adsense big earners though, so I don't know why this thread is stuck in this section?:)

    With these hyped bloggers... I do like Steve Pavlina's blog though. That guy is smart, there are some great articles on there.
