Seeking Help from My Readers (UPDATED)

Over the past few weeks, an annoying tech problem has emerged on my blog. As my of you have noticed, Republic of Gilead had been spontaneously redirecting visitors to spam pages. I've tried to get to the bottom of the problem, without success.

I've run Republic of Gilead through site scanners such as Sucuri and Web Inspector, but neither revealed any problems. My webmaster tools show no malware infection. Thinking the problem was my computer, I ran diagnostic scans through several security programs, but none located any viruses or malware. Finally, I submitted my blog as a possible malware infectee to Google, but I haven't received any response.

I'm at a loss. If any tech-savvy readers can shed light on what's going on and how to correct it, I would appreciate it.


4/10/13 UPDATE: After removing "Sociable" from my blog, the problem has resolved itself. Thanks Loni!

  1. Wish I could help. At least I just have to click the back button and all is well.

    1. Jono -- Thanks. I'd rather that visitors could just enjoy the blog and not have to click the back button. I know it's an inconvenience to you guys, which is why I want to fix it.

    2. Loni -- After removing "Sociable", the problem seems to have resolved itself. I've pulled up my blog on two different computers and experienced no redirects.

      You've been a big help!
