Considering going private








I have been worrying a lot more and thinking a lot more about going private with my blog. It's too bad there are such weirdos out there. It does make me a little sad, because it drives me CRAZY when someone looks at my blog and I go to look at theirs and it says 'this blog is open to invited readers only'. So, if you would still like to view my blog leave me your email address and I will invite you, and if you think I would like your blog you can invite me too!

Just to clarify- no I am not getting weird comments. I just have been nervous about plastering my kids all over the web, but like I said, I am still thinking about it. Plus, I don't want people stealing pictures off of my website. I don't know what to do, I love finding new fun blogs all the time. What do you guys think?

Of course invite me. I just hate it though because I check private blogs way less. Sad to say, I know, but if I can't put it on my google reader, I just don't remember to go look it up. But of course do whatever you feel you should do. And I'll make an effort to remind myself to check in once in a while!

Have you been getting weird comments? I've thought about going private too but I just love "finding" people through blogs. However, if you do go private, I'd love an invite thecondieclan{at}gmail{dot}com

I'm with Jen on the google reader issue. I have some blogs in my bookmarks though so when I think about it I check them all. But it seems like I keep restoring my Firefox for one reason or another and then I have to gather the addresses all over again. But such is life. I'm finding though that my blog is more for me an my record anyway so it might as well be private.

i used to get weird comments and then i changed the way people could leave comments (they have to type in that crazy, wavy code that changes every time). i haven't had a strange comment in 9 months. if you're getting strange comments you might try that first before going private. of course add me...missykiser@gmail.com however i'm with everyone else about it can't go into google reader. i'll be checking though, because i can't wait to see if you having another darling boy or a girl.
