One of my best friends had a post today on the safety of blogs and how to keep your privacy safe. I know some people go private with their blogs, but I don't want to have to limit my connections with people. I have connected to so many because of my blog! So, I decided to change this blogs address, so make note of it, please!
Another friend of mine, posted on her blog, some ways to keep your privacy safe. How sad that we live in a world where you can't trust people...I guess that's life! I love blogging and I will keep blogging, I just need to be a little more aware of what I post.
So, here are the suggestions on how to keep safe while blogging and a link to the story my friend had on her blog about this.
Take your last name and where you live off your blog.
Don't use middle names.
Take you last name out of your web address.
Still post birthday pictures just don't tell us the actual birthday.
Go into settings (Basic) and look for these questions and mark them NO (Add your blog to our listings?) (Let search engines find your blog?)
Go to setting (Formatting) and change the amount of post to show a fewer amount....yes they can click older post but that it is still a deterrent. You can also take your archive off so they can't scan through all your posts.

You're probably right. I should. I just wish there weren't so many freaks. I have reconnected with so many people through blogs. One or two jerks gotta ruin in for everyone.
I'm a freaking idiot. No wonder I haven't gotten your blog updates. You have a new blog address! I thought I was losing my mind.
