No more fun with "Next Blog"

Apparently, clicking on the button might take you to a blog that will hijack your computer with spyware and viruses. For more information, check out the following links:

Bummer. I found some interesting blogs that way. I also learned about how people used blogs to up their hit count on Google's search engine. Now I'm going to try and remove the next blog icon. If I cannot, I recommend never using it, just in case....

Funny that the first Next Blog I hit warns of using the function. Oh well.
