Dear Roger,
Are you saying that the "Sundials on the Internet" website is now 'too
dangerous' to visit, since it has been hacked - and so might therefore
cause actual damage to any computer, of people who visit that website?
I imagine this is something to do with 'viruses', or similar "nasties".
I had notified Piers Nicholson (about 10 years ago), that his website
did not comply with the internationally-agreed "W3C" standards for a
properly 'validated' website - but he said that he could not (or would
not) correct this, just because it was basically too big a job to do!
As time goes on, unfortunately his "Sundials on the Internet" website
will simply fade away - unless Piers 'bites the bullet' and corrects
all of the errors, which make it 'incompatible' with modern Browsers.
If you want a good 'ranking' on the Search Engines (such as "Google"),
then you MUST make sure that your website is properly validated - as
otherwise this will cause problems for visitors, and so I would advise
all members to check their own websites via http://validator.w3.org/
It is fast (and free), plus will tell you how to correct any errors.
Sincerely,
David Andersson.
