My Blog was Hacked!!

It finally happened to me - my blog was hacked!! I love widgets - and everyone who knows me knows that I love widgets. Well, one of the widgets was corrupt. Sad, sad, sad :(

So, after hours of trying to figure out what happened and how my blog was being redirected to a spam website, I stumbled upon this string in the Blogger Help Forums,
my blog site has been hijacked? & redirects to: http://searchinvented.com/?flrdr=yes&nxte=js&dn=smashingfeeds.com&fp=57S

There I was able to find other people that had the same problem, and they clued me in that it was my TweetThis widget that was corrupted. Thanks to these great people, I was able to fix my blog!!
