Sorry for the interruption

If you happened to check in the last day or so, you might have noticed that the blog was set to private. I'm not really going private, I just needed to take it down really fast without deleting the blog and starting over, and it was the quickest way I could think of.

To make a long story short, because my blog is public, I have a site tracker on so I can see who is looking at my stuff. A week or so ago, I noticed that someone found my site using some suspicious word searches (not bad, just suspicious depending on how you look at it). I watched for other hits from that person, to see if it was someone I knew. Well, when I checked again yesterday, that person was back using the same search words. I decided to take it down so that I would have time to remove all of the pictures and videos of the kids and any links to them. (I think I got them all). I hope that at some point in the very near future I will have a place for pictures and videos on our secure, password protected server. Or maybe I'll have a blog link that is private for just pictures and videos of the kids. I'm just not sure yet. I do know that I'm not going to have time to do it for awhile as a certain book is coming out tonight that takes precedence over blogging.

If you don't mind, it would ease my mind if every once in a great while you would leave me a comment to let me know who you are, so I know that you are someone I know and trust. Sorry to sound like paranoid mom, but my kiddies come first!

I'm sorry that happened to you. Why don't you just go private and send out invites. That is the only way my husband let me have a blog

It does seem much easier to go private. Who do you really want looking at your beautiful family that you don't already know anyway? That is why mine is private.

I like having my blog private. It lets me put things on it that I want my friends and family to see without having to worry about strangers seeing it. What site tracker do you use?

I'm glad that you are savy enough to keep your family safe. When you get a moment (away from the new read) if you wouldn't mind slipping some info my way I should probably be more careful myself! Going private doesn't sound like a bad idea...I just have no idea how to clean up everything else that is floating around in cyberspace. Anyway...have a happy day! Cindy
