NVRC Web Site Weirdness Hopefully Fixed

Some of you noticed (and let us know) that, when searching for our Club using Google, some of our web pages had links that were redirected to “pharmaceutical” sites. Please accept our apologies for this, and for the fact that we web jockeys didn’t believe it was even happening. (It turns out that through a misunderstanding of how people were getting this to occur, we were not able to recreate the occurrence, and hence thought that the people reporting it had a virus!) In any case, we seem to have located and fixed the problem. There was apparently a hack on the web software we use for our site that caused the re-directs. That has (we hope) been fixed and enough time has elapsed so that Google’s magical cache is cleared. Let us know if you notice this again. We promise to believe you this time!

The blog layouts on the site are ordered by date, but one article is forced to always display first. This is done using a kludge so I'm documenting it here: The main article has it's date set to the far future, currently the year 2030.
