Here's my thoughts on blogging. . . After reading what KSL News had to say last night at 10:00 it made me ponder and scroll back through my posting topics and things I have said. I have taken all precautions they mentioned, except going private. There are a few local places I have named which may have been a mistake, but never have I mentioned city where we live or schools, employment, etc.
I think it's a big mistake to post your "personal profile". I think it is critical to adjust your "settings" so that your blog is not listed on blogger. You also don't want it to be searched using a search engine like google. Also make sure your readers are asked to type the word verification when leaving a comment, this will reduce spam comments. As a test, I went into my google search engine and I searched for my name. My name only appeared from comments I have left on other blogs that have not taken these precautions. I ask all of you to please do this to protect others who comment on your blog.
KSL also said that we shouldn't leave pics of our children - well then, what is the point of blogging??? I guess I could still journal without pictures, but I can keep a journal numerous other ways.
Blogging is my form of creativity and a hobby I enjoy. I don't hang with friends and this is one way I keep in touch. I would hate to stop. But should I go private??? Please vote to the left in my sidebar. . .and please comment with your thoughts.
