Blog, Blog #2

A couple of notes to regular readers: As you know Blogger is a free service of Google. Thanks Google!

However, there are hundreds of thousands of blogs and Google does not make any money unless the blogger opts for advertising on his/her blog. I will not do so. The UMass football blog is a labor of love, not for $$$.

However, that means Google does not have a large staff helping when there are problems. Recently a number of blogs have been highjacked. I've noticed signs lately that the UMass Football Blog has been visited by some sort of Web bot.

So my point is if you should visit and find the blog has been morphed into "Naughty Dutch Schoolgirls", be patient. It's been taking about a week to get Google to repair highjacked blogs. I'll be working to return as soon as possible if something happens.

The other thing is that I've finally edited the script that give the "Countdown to Colgate" counter to reflect the correct date of the game. Remember the script checks the system date on your computer. If you never set your system clock or are on some other time (Zulu time for military), then the countdown will off. I like Atom Time Pro as a time setting utility.
