BREAKING NEWS: Google Removes Destination Dallas

Last night Google informed me that the Destination Dallas 2021 tab was flagged as malware and removed it from Blog. ?????

I have no idea why Google thought it was malware as the page is just a collection of links to needlepoint shop and designer websites, posted as a service to everyone in the needlepoint world to alert you to the latest products and designs. It is possible that one of these links to hundreds of websites has been infected with malware. It does happen. That's totally out of my control.

I protested Google's decision last night; they reviewed it and restored the tab this morning. It appears to be somewhat different than it was, but there's no way I can review it all and fix issues, so we'll just have to go with what they put back up. If this happens again I will stop providing this service. Stay tuned.
