You better believe I made my entire account private after that.<br /><br />I don't have kids, but I do have an adorable nephew that I love more than anything. Aside from the family shots at my wedding on facebook, I'll never put a public picture of him on the internet. And my sister (his mom) feels the same way. <br /><br />I just don't believe that pictures of children belong online. The risk is just too great and needless in my opinion. And while the rest of life is risky too, everyone tries to minimize what risks they can. <br /><br />This isn't to say that I think mommy bloggers are bad, or should stop putting pictures up. I enjoying reading about and seeing such cute faces on my google reader.But the parents need to be aware of what can happen, and how they'll feel when/if it does happen to them. <br /><br />Just thought you'd like the perspective of a non mom blogger. :)behind the fourth doorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01379368285379734705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3703564226513689013.post-44564892883274027902009-11-21T23:06:16.028-05:002009-11-21T23:06:16.028-05:00These are things that I have thought about as well...These are things that I have thought about as well. I put myself and my immediate family out there. I use our real names and post pictures of us. There are things that I won't show (like certain pictures of Noah) or disclose... my husbands job and where he works... other family members names and where I may be at any given time, because if someone really wanted to I'm sure the could find out a lot about me since we've got our own domain. <br />In the end I try not to worry about it too much. I like the idea of tracking the pictures though... may have to look into that!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10110041382116193467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3703564226513689013.post-53614013491507548532009-11-20T07:04:02.000-05:002009-11-20T07:04:02.000-05:00Thanks for sharing Tynt Insight with us-I'm de...Thanks for sharing Tynt Insight with us-I'm definitely using that now! <br /><br />I think that it's natural to be very concerned about the safety of our kidlets on the internet. I share some appropriate pictures, but not my children's names or any personal information on any of us (not even the state we live in)...and I waffle about the pictures sometimes too.<br /><br />There are no easy answers on this one.MrsMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281146542128077304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3703564226513689013.post-60184875121701993282009-11-19T18:50:59.040-05:002009-11-19T18:50:59.040-05:00I dont worry about it... maybe I should give it mo...I dont worry about it... maybe I should give it more thought...but if someone wants to find you they'll find you with our without your blog.<br /><br />I post pictures and stories and I talk about living in OK.

I am not sure if there is a right answer to this question though.<br /><br />I agree with Michelle. It is terrible to have to even think about these things. the world can be such a wonderful place but it can also be such a scary place. I guess for now I choose not be to be scared away from sharing and making connections...we'll see if that changes.Evolving Mommy Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02396529445805781031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3703564226513689013.post-56672349344205586492009-11-17T20:44:39.989-05:002009-11-17T20:44:39.989-05:00That is horrible!

I do agree that people make more of a connection with faces and names, and I hate to think of the dirty, pervy people that do otherwise. There is always risk, just like there is risk getting in a car to drive to the grocery store. Just keep your guard up just enough to be aware, in my opinion. :)Heather@WHMBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12045024188758802794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3703564226513689013.post-296185119179153592009-11-17T13:29:54.765-05:002009-11-17T13:29:54.765-05:00These are GREAT questions - and ones I wrestle wit...These are GREAT questions - and ones I wrestle with all the time. <br /><br />I was posting personal pictures for awhile, but for myself decided to write a little more anonymously and with fun "stage names" because I have to keep my work life very seperate from the world of blogging. Though I do have one picture that I share of myself, because I think people like to know who they're reading. <br /><br />I love the idea of being able to track the photos you post. <br /><br />Super discussion idea!Lyndsay Wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06382324380724354831noreply@blogger.com
