  Hi there, could you let me know what service is showing that message? You’ll likely need to contact them directly to find out what the issue is.

  Thanks for the prompt response, Kathryn. I only know this is a friend’s workplace server (he alerted me to the blockage), so it must be a strict filter I’m guessing. But if I google search my blog I’m seeing the “question mark” status as opposed to the nice green “safe” checkmark w/ my McAfee anti-virus program – is there a way to get McAfee to recognize this as legitimate?

  Hi there, you can try using McAfee’s form for user feedback:

  There’s also an article on how to remove McAfee SiteAdvisor blacklisting that you might want to read.

  In terms of your friend’s workplace, you might want to ask him to ask his IT department why your site is being blocked.

  Just let me know if you need further help. Let me know if there’s anything else we can do on our end.
