Hi all.....
I got two emails and a facebook message tonight telling me that when they visited my blog, they got a message that someone on my blog roll (which WAS located on my right side bar) had malware on their blog and it was causing a pop up warning them NOT to visit my blog because of this.....
So... it's NOT my blog.....
It's someone on my blog roll.....
I have contacted this person and they are trying to fix it on their end......
I have been trying for 5 hours to remove this person's blog from my blog roll to make this go away......
I can't remove it because I am getting a "JavaScript:Void0" error.....
I have googled this error message from here to the end of time trying to figure out what to do .....
I have tried to install and uninstall and re-install JAVA on my computer for the past 5 hours to just get this one blog off my blog roll......
I have done about 20 restarts on my computer......
I have tried Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and my ever dreaded Internet Explorer trying to get around this JavaScript:Void0 error......
The REAL kicker is ...... this computer is BRAND new... I have owned it for all of 4 days.......
I can not bring it back to the factory settings as I paid A LOT of $$$$$ to have the store add all the bells and whistles on this computer and I don't want to erase it all.......
I can see BLOGGERS I follow (not typepad and wordpress) on my blog's dashboard.....
******Edited to add------(I have had peeps comment about Google Reader...I do use that... but I can't figure out how to add typepad/wordpress blogs to it???)********
******Edited to add------(I have had peeps comment about Google Reader...I do use that... but I can't figure out how to add typepad/wordpress blogs to it???)********
I FINALLY removed the ENTIRE gadget off my side bar......
What does that mean??????????
That now when I open my blog... my beloved blogs I visit daily are not there anymore ......
I can't visit my friends until I figure out this JavaScript:Void0 error......
I am frustrated.....
I am wishing at this point that I was a computer geek.....
So my friends......
I will be sparse in visiting you till I can figure this all out.....
Which totally breaks my heart......
The end :(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

I do hope you can get some help soon.
Oh no. Doesn't the computer store offer an after sales service?
At least the hard drive isn't ruined - my friend lost her dissertation and thousands of photos when her computer went belly up.
Hope you get it fixed soon.
P.S. have you tried Google Reader for keeping up with your favourite blogs?
So sorry to hear that Julie!!! I am so NOT a technical person when it comes to computers. It's amazing how much time they can waste when there are problems!!! When we got our new computer over the summer we bought tech support for a year. At first I didn't want to spend the money, but now I'm so glad we did. GOOD LUCK! Hope your able to get everything back to normal soon!!! (=
It is frustrating isnt it. I hope you get it fixed asap. cherry
I have no idea what you are talking about..but nonetheless, I feel your pain because computers can be so defeating sometimes! Hope you get it all fixed again:)
Oh you poor thing! Hope it get resolved soon! Hugs! :)
Oh you'll figure it out! Sit back and try to enjoy the break from blogging while it lasts.
I am so sorry. :( All those frowny faces instead of smilies makes me sad for you. :(
I have no clue about the java issue either or the malware... big hugs and lots of smiles just because. :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :):):):):)
PS... I just read JulieJ's comment about Google Reader.. and I use that too to try and keep up with my blogs... although self admittedly, have way too many to actually keep up with. :)
Good luck! I wish I was computery enough to help but I can't even figure out my dang printer! I'll miss your happy faces till you are back!!!
You poor girl...I hate computer problems...pahooey....I follow everybody through my google reader...
Darn it all! I hate this for you! SO hate computer issues........I never can figure them out. Good luck to you getting this sorted quickly. :)
Oh No....I will talk to Joe when he gets home...he is a computer genius!!!! Maybe he can figure it out for you!!!
That is why I love my Mac.....
Hang in there and I hope you get it fixed!!!
Oh dear that is such a pain! Sorry not very computer savy so can't help but I usually go and check all the blogs I follow on my dashboard so maybe that will still work for you? I hope you get it sorted soon! :)
Oh I hope you can get it fixed soon!!! big {{{HUGS}}} :) :) :):):):)
Adding any blog to Google Reader is easy. There's a big red SUBSCRIBE button at the top left- click on that, then just type/paste the blog's address there.
So sorry this had to happen to you!!!!
I wish I could help you like you helped me!
Oh you poor thing... hope you get it all fixed soon!
No fun!! I'm sorry...I hate it when this kind of stuff happens. :( Hang in there...hope it is all fixed soon!)
awww, i am so sorry! I hope everything works out soon.
I can imagine how frustrated you must be! And I think that you know a lot about computers and these kind of problems, given al the things you have mentioned here tot trie to fix it.
Julie just look at the bright side.....moooooooreeeee scrappy time now :):):)
hugs, Jo
Sorry to hear that my friend, I hope it gets fixed soon!
Oh no Julie!! That is awful, I hope things get better very soon!
eeekkk! That is not good! I would be very unhappy! I hope that someone has a good answer for you. I see you updated a little later on but not sure it's been fixed as of yet. I will be watching to see if it gets resolved because I would like to know for future reference. Best of luck to you!
Ohh no!
Hi precious pea. aren't computers fraustrating!! Have you tried adding your blog list as a seperate page, so it's not showing on the main page (ie a tab at the top of your blog that directs you to a different page). Wondered if that might stop the error happening for people who visit your blog and still give you a list to work through. I have google reader and haven't had a problem adding blogs from wordpress or typepad. If they have a RSS feed you should be able to just add them to your reader. I wish I had more time to even open my reader let alone visit all the blogs on it. I always admire how you do that. Hugs, love ya
So sorry to hear you are having all those problems. I do hope you can figure it out soon.. I am sure that is not how you wanted to spend your day!
Hugs, Linda
yikes! well hopefully it'll get fixed asap. yes, google reader is fantastic. :)
hope everything works out.
hugs,
sarah.
Hope you get it fixed soon!! I need you to come visit me!!
Oh how annoying for you Julie! I can't stand technical stuff like that - does my head in! Hope it gets sorted out soon for you! :)
So sorry to hear about your problem. Hope you get it fixed soon.
Good luck, Julie!! You can do it!!

Oh no Julie! did it get fixed yet????? I hope so. I will say prayers for you and your blog and your computer!!!!!!!!!
I feel so terrible, as it was my blog that caused this issue to you! I am so super-super sorry! :(
Sooo glad it all got fixed. Have a happy weekend! Hugs!!!
OHHH NO! I hope you get this fixed soon! I am so sad that there are so many bugs and problems with blogger/technology as of late. I use a program called SHROOK (it's free) to keep track of all the blogs I read/follow. You download it, copy and paste the blog reader RSS feed address (or just the address--it finds the feed for you sometimes), and POOOOF! It tells you when there are changes in a post or when someone has posted something new! LOVE:) And you get to flag post that are important--DT calls, challenges, etc.
Not sure if this was helpful....but I do hope you get your computer/blog to work again! Much love:)
Julie, that sucks... blogger gives us so many troubles...
I'll miss you, of course, heave a great weekend and hope it all get fixed pretty soon!
Ugh! I so wish that I was a computer geek too and could help. I'm so, so sorry! Good luck!
Sweetie, I am so sorry about this. How frustrating. I know you'll figure it out. You're superwoman. And when you do, tell us all what to do in case it happens to us!
Hugs!
So sorry Julie - how frustrating!! I have another private blog with all the lists of blogs I read. It works so well for me - maybe you should try it?
