Don't use Google Reader
If you read this blog through Google Reader, don't. My RSS feed has somehow been hacked in Reader and will redirect you to a Russian p*o&r$n site. I mean, unless you like that sort of thing, then by all means, keep on keeping on.
For now, I am shutting off the RSS feed. We spent hours searching the code for my site last night and couldn't find anything. My super-awesome IT security husband (who admonished me for not changing my password and not making it strong enough) has deduced someone has somehow hacked Google's DNS for my blog's feed. It's the only explanation for now.
If you go straight to www.snarkymommy.com, or to any of my links by using the URL, you are fine. We also tested other feed-readers and there was no issue with those.
In the meantime, I have shut off the RSS feed. I will let you know when this is solved. And of course, Google is being less than helpful with this issue. You'd think I wasn't a multi-million-unique-visitor-a-month blogger who makes $40,000 per month in ad revenue. Oh wait, that's NOT me. Damn.

Ah ha! That explains why my security scan program has been warning me about the site when I try to click into your blog from Google Reader.
Thanks for the heads up - I'll swing come by directly until told otherwise. :)
40K a month? O%rah said it, so it must be true!
Guess I was one of the unlucky ones. I read you via GR and I wasn't misdirected to a p*rn site. You think if I try again it will work?!
Ditto what Sue said, I didn't have any issues...I have to find my Russian p*rn the old fashioned way. Damn.
