HELP

For some strange reason every time I open my blog it shows that I am from Winchester Virgina. Before it always showed the correct address of Paducah Ky. Even when I go to other blogs that track the traffic it says visitor from Winchester Va. Have I been taken over from a spammer? Can I chang e it back to the correct form? Can't seem to get blogger to reply to any questions so I am relying on some help from my fellow bloggers. Any help wil be greatly appreciated. THANKS

I haven't a clue...and I'm not sure if I am visiting from San Franscisco or Redmond. Either way I'm on the right coast. You have a visitor from Sao Paulo! How cool!

It probably gets the location from the IP address, which will belong to your ISP (internet service provider). Have you changed ISP? Or have they changed - been taken over by another, or installed new centralized equipment? There is probably nothing you can do about it, other than try another ISP...

Hey Sarah and Ian Thank you both for taking a moment and trying to help me. When you visit Sarah it says you are from Redmond so it gets that part right. You too, Ian it always says Europe. I am amazed really at the locations I see on my blog. A big part of them come from places I didn't even know existed. Guess I'll just be content with things they way they are. I'm just relieved some hacker hasn't taken control. Thanks again you 2 nice folks for your comments. Enjoy!

First of all my friend,I just can't imagine why a hacker would be interested in high-jacking your blog,unless? "chortles!" he or she needs to be uplifted by your words:)
As for locations? I'm very particular about who knows where I live-hence why I'm anonymous on here.But I have an open account so--
I suppose I'm out there anyway.
That being said, don't worry your soul, Cap.I've never really paid much attention to where somewhat was at as much as what they write:)

Hugs from here to you and your lovely family~xo

Hi Dee Thank you for stopping in. I have had my email account hacked in the past and yet still those in my address book keep getting emails supposedly from me trying to sell Viagra of all things. I don't know how they do it but spammers and hackers just tend to tee me off some. Im not concerned with this issue but was just wondering why it had changed. Hope all is well with you and that beautiful family of yours. Take it easy and enjoy every moment.
