the wayback machine is trying to hijack mysite

[greg artim]

i had a website made by my brother about 7 years ago at www.gregartim.com . I didnt update it and it didnt get any traffic. Recently I decided to update it and did so with frontpage, put in about 50 pages. today, when i went to the site and clicked on a link to my estateplanning page, the browser bar read http://web.archive.org/web/200703080...teplanning.htm . i then clicked on view source, and the following two items of code were there, and i didnt add them.

1. <BASE HREF="http://www.gregartim.com/estateplanning.htm">

2. <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20070308050741/http://www.gregartim.com/_themes/sky/sky1011.css"><meta name="Microsoft Theme" content="sky 1011, default">

every page that i went to had that code on it. freaked out, i went to another site, and then came back, and everything was ok. this happened to me twice today, completely at random.

can anyone explain this or help me stop it. if you go to my site, i cant predict if it will happen again.

Did you copy your site from one in the wayback machine?

If so you probably copied the code as well.

The wayback machine couldnt edit your live pages to include that code.

no, i didnt copy it. it was all made from scratch. this only happened one day, twice, and then hasnt happened again. I am wondering if it was maybe just the process of the wayback machine archiving my new pages. it was really wierd though.

That is probably what happened. I had to use the wayback machine to get a site I had made a couple of years ago, but I had to edit their code out first.
