The New Kelvinonian Ideas 2.0: Cleaner and Better
53 Comments | Posted by Kelvin Servigon in Thoughts
Did you have a chance to see the monster here on my blog? Did you see it? Yeah, I am talking about the warning that different browsers popped out whenever you load my blog. They warned the visitors of my blog that Kelvinonian.com contains elements from imagehack.ws which reportedly an attack site.
It freaked me out. That monster is no joke. It is one of the biggest problems that I’ve ever encountered in my whole blogging life. Why? Because I don’t know what to do. I said to my visitors who told me about the warning that I’ll fix it, but I don’t know where to start. Fortunately, I am a proud member of P50 Allied Bloggers; they helped me to solve this problem. Thanks guys.
How I solved it? Simple but tricky. At first, P50 members told me to deactivate all the plug-ins installed on my Wordpress. I did it and saw nothing happened – the monster was still on my blog. Then, I tried to change my theme to default Wordpress theme. And when I visited my blog, I saw nothing, too. But this time, the nice way. The warning didn’t pop out again. That means that the malicious code that causes the warning is on my current theme. Then, instead of scanning all the theme files, I just decided to choose a nicer way, to change my blog theme. Besides, I really want to change my theme from dark to a light one.
Kelvinonian Ideas' old blog theme.
Kelvinonian Ideas' new blog theme.
My new blog theme. I saw a nice Wordpress theme and immediately installed in my Wordpress. Tweak it out and changed some graphics. And after some hours, my new blog theme is nicer (for me) than the old one. Easier to read my blog posts and more eye-friendly (if that’s the right term).
Photography + Design = Fun. Yeah, from “Always Dream”, my new blog tag-line is “Photography + Design = Fun”. It makes sense, right? I also come up with the idea “Photography + Design + Other stuffs = Fun” but it’s too long, and it sucks, LOL. We need to be serious in choosing our blog’s tag-line because it is a simple phrase that describes your blog, right? 
I hope you guys liked my new blog theme, too. And I hope that monster never come back again.

Nku, bihira nga lang ako magpalit ng theme. Kasi nakakatamad. LOL. Eh ngayon kasi talagang kailangan nang palitan dahil sa malicious code na nakalagay sa dating theme ko.
Salamat Bugits

Yeah, maybe it’s because nasanay na ko sa black, grunge theme mo kaya when you switched to lighter and cool colored theme ayun refreshing ang naging result..monster talaga ang tawag ano well it’s nice that ok na lahat.

Looks like it’s back.
From now on, scan your PC, remove unwanted links, I mean linking is good but it depends on where the links are coming from.
Actually, you’re not the only person who got whacked by malware. You should start using Safari, it checks whether your blog is being attacked by hackers.
Kelvin Servigon Reply:
December 11th, 2009 at 8:08 am
I have Safari installed on my PC. But I saw the warning on my blog when I used Chrome.
Anyway, thanks K for the warning and tips.

sernan | December 11, 2009 at 10:18 am
was it a script triggered whenever you open the site? I was wondering because one of my friends had an issue with my site as it keeps on Blinking, He is using the latest version of firefox… but on other browsers, everything is ok… not sure if this is the same…
Kelvin Servigon Reply:
December 12th, 2009 at 4:23 pm
yeah, a malicious code installed on my old theme. I think our blogs don’t have the same problems. Your blog seems ok to me anyway.

I think I missed that monster cos I didn’t noticed it the last time I was here. But I like your black theme and I think you should go for that since you’re posting photographs sometimes. Photos become more appealing and real in a darker background.

You’re right, black background is better in photo blog. But since, I do writing posts a lot too, this new theme fits me well.
Thank you Marlene!
