Thanks to Chris Cree of SuccessfulCREEations, Inc. the COEBlog has now been upgraded to avoid future threats by hackers!  You should no longer receive the virus warnings when you visit the blog directly.  Chris did warn me that it may take a few days for some of the search engines to recognize that it is no longer infected. 

I met Chris over a year and a half ago at a blogging conference, and he graciously helped me and guided me in setting up the COEBlog.  If you are ever in need of any Social Media and/or Blogging consulting, Chris should be your “go to” guy!  Visit him online at http://successcreeations.com/, and tell him Laura sent you!

Finally back to a safe blogging environment!!!  Thanks, Chris!
