Thinking about going private...



Any thoughts?

After a few discussions with the husband, he thinks it would be a good idea. I told him that nobody even reads blogs anymore anyway, well, other than the two of you.

I am sitting on the fence. Might be making the switch. Still trying to figure out what to do. I do use this as my journal for our family happenings and would like to be as open as I would if it really were my regular old fashioned journal.

IF I make the switch, are you in? Do you want to be invited? I would love to invite you, but make sure I know your email address. You may post it here, or drop me a line on my email and let me know. schmlz@msn.com

I was all set to go private, and then I realized that a lot of "old" people (grandparents etc.) read mine and they wouldn't look if they had to log in first... computers are not their thing, and I seriously think they are the only ones that read regularly. Otherwise, I would totally do it... just for peace of mind. Please invite me if you decide to do it.

My reasons are the same as Janette's, although I will probably do it sometime soon :) If you do it invite me!

Paula said...

I, too, have considered going private after the last incident (you know what I'm talking about).

So if you do go private, count me in.

Ya know, I'm a little torn about the whole private thing myself. Should I......shouldn't I??? That is also my question. If you decide to, we are definitely in. If you decide not to, we are going to continue to stalk you, when you least expect it. At least you update your blog more than just once a year. Good Girl!!

I have to admit alot less people read my blog now that I am private (this includes most of my family members) but I am still glad I did it. I too keep it as my family journal and this way i can say whatever I want without feeling too worried. If you do go private count me in.

I totally understand if you want to go private - and I'm not afraid of a login.

melissa said...

I agree with Jeanette. Plus, have you ever heard of anything actually HAPPENING from someone reading a family blog? I mean, besides a warning spam email that's been forwarded around the world that's probably fake anyways? I've been trying to think of what could actually happen, and so far I haven't come up with anything. And I haven't heard anyone's true stories about it either. So I'm not totally opposed to it, but I'm not convinced either. But I'll support you private or public, as long as you invite me!

I think it's only fair that we stalk each other equally. allimac2586@yahoo.com

Amber said...

As long as I am invited - going private is OK with me ;)
I don't think I'll ever go private, because I am pathetic and need to feel validated and important. Having myself be "published to the world" makes me feel famous...or is that infamous?

Sarah K said...

Please invite me if you do go private! I completely understand if you do.

Alona said...

I'm private and I love that I don't have to think too much before I post...can you tell? Invite me...I'd miss you!! (I do know a couple of horror stories, mostly identity theft of little children. Stupid people ruin it for everyone else!!)
