As you'll probably be aware I edit and publish The Journal and have come to depend on orders and payment coming to me online. But over the weekend the website I had, hosted by Freewebs, became suddenly inaccessible. A sign came up saying that it was frozen due to fraud. The contact email they gave came bouncing back to me undelivered. Likewise their forums proved as unresponsive. Word on Facebook was that Freewebs had been hit by a 'bot' attack. Which in a way was reassuring - in that no-one was actually accusing me of fraud. But meanwhile I had no website. So I set to and built another. It still needs some final tweaks but The Journal and Original Plus are, phew!, open again for business here -
