Unbelievable. What can he do to fix this? (What can we do to avoid it?)

Ah yuk!! Thanks for letting us all know Rosa and Reg I feel for you at the moment.

Unfortunately this is not the first time that a Blogger based blog has been hijacked (and I suspect that it won't be the last). There are stories of some people who had their Blogger account disabled by Blogger/Google for abusing the Terms of Service only to find out that they were doing the right thing but the site had been hijacked.

The only way to resolve this is via Google's/Blogger's support process. They were engaged by Reg to provide that site, whether free or not, and they are required to live up to their end of the Terms of Service.

In response to Pete's comment about how to avoid this .... the best way is to have full control and ownership over your domain name, the DNS records and where the domain is hosted. If someone wants to try hard enough to hack your site then there might be a way but if you have control over it the the chances are minimised.

Go get 'em Reg!

I'm not sure what Reg has done in contacting Blogger/Google but here is a link that might help with more information.

Thanks so much Leah! I'll send Reg a note so he'll be sure to see this.
