Mobile usability issues and Google's search results

On March 18, I received an email from Google in which they said "Google systems have tested 16 pages from your site and found that 94% of them have critical mobile usability errors.

I must have pissed of the Canadian, Chinese and US governments really badly

I must have pissed of the Canadian, Chinese and US governments really badly. I have been fairly active on Twitter, Facebook and, to a lesser degree, G+ pushing for a stop to Keystone XL pipeline, genetically modified foods and Monsanto's control of the US Food and Drug Administration.

The idea for the improvements started back in August when I bought my ASUS Eee Pad aka ANDROID TRANSFORMER tablet.

Index of /wp-content/plugins/extended-comment-options

Lately, I've been receiving spam mail from a compromised Hotmail account that sends out links to compromised Wordpress blogs. Or maybe the Wordpress blogs were setup specifically to redirect visitors to phishing sites that are part of a bot.net network.
