Just got a confirmation from Websense:
Thank you for writing to Websense.
The site you submitted is a virtually hosted site that was not in our database. However, it shares an IP address with another site in our database which caused an unintended overblock. The site has been reviewed and categorized accordingly:

So those who are getting the message saying that Planet Geospatial is a sex site, should be seeing GIS soon.

That’s disappointing…
What’s worse is that although we have WebSense here, I never got the sex.

There are a lot of things I can say. . .
Like, “Smut peddler!”
Or. . .
“Hey, what are all those pinholes doing in the map?”

Hi,
I am trying to get this blog started and one of the contributors to the site works in a corp. situation who uses websense. I haven’ t even posted anything on the blog and it’s being blocked by websense with the sex category.
Is there a meta tag hidden somewhere that is causeing this? it’s not my host cause they can access my other sites, just the blogs i’ve created. all 3 of them get blocked.. PLEASE HELP if you can. i need him to be able to access the blog from work.
thanks
Bobby

So it seems all of my sites are being blocked. I think it’s because of my host?? or my IP address? does anyone know how I would go about fixing that. This is turning out to be a larger problem than i thought.
