Wow! Has anyone ever had this happen? As I was updating one of my blog posts, it went to a blank page. Scary!
It seemed that no matter what I did to fix this, nothing worked. I looked up the situation with Google and it came up with multiple pages on how to fix the problem. As I worked my way through the pages on how to fix this, I found that it wasn't such an unusual problem.
All kinds of suggestions came up such as maybe a plug in problem, delete all plug ins and reinstall. Next was to restore the database on your blog. Yikes! Needless to say I wasn't going to do these things until I found a simpler solution to try first.
Finally I found an answer that seemed like a simple solution. Get rid of the spam. I found that I had 32 spam posts in the spam folder. I deleted all of them and guess what? Problem solved.
Now to fix a link from Google Search to my SEO article.
