Reading your experience I think I should be happy about what happened to us today. Could have been much worse :-)

Hi John,

Thanks a lot for your detailed response. Really appreciated.

Probably both sites were infected at some point. Again, I never saw the malware message myself but the guy that alerted us first copied the message he got and it was explicitly mentioning the demo site: “Content from demos.shapingrain.com, a known malware distributor, has been inserted into this web page. Visiting this page now is very likely to infect your Mac with malware.”

And now, we’re going to immediately clean the CSS since this is something that had not occurred to us could be the cause of the problem. Let’s make sure we are not blacklisted again!

Good point. I don't have the knowledge to answer this but what is true beyond any doubt is that a false statement like this causes financial damage to the site

A slightly related problem is that we cannot use WordPress as part of the domain name which would probably make easier to distinguish ourselves (and all other WordPress related products) from other kinds of sites

I'm ashamed to confess that when I saw this, I wished the world was full of Internet Explorer users :-)

And if you still see the malware warning yet, well, join me in our appreaciation to Google efforts for protecting internet users against very evil business like mine :-(

(I guess they think they only ones that follow the "Don't be evil" motto)

Very interesting. I keep a complete list of "textual UML" tools aimed at rendering different kinds of UML diagrams from a textual notation. Take a look: http://modeling-languages.com/uml-tools/#textual

Sorry about that. Now it is fixed (at least most of them). I had to do some automatic updates of the underlying wordpress database and I guess that one of them messed the capitalization. I'll need to explore what happened in more detail.

Great book. I selected 15 wisdom pearls from the book (for those with no time to read the full book): http://modeling-languages.com/15-wisdom-pearls-software-arch...

Many of the most successful apps were not the first ones in their category. They didn't invent a new market but improved existing ideas and somehow became more popular than the original ones
