I try to be careful with the information I share, but I don't think I would want to stop blogging entirely.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by my blog.

In my opinion your sister is right, we can't live in fear. Most bloggers in the blogging community are phenomenal, terrific people who share so much of themselves, inspiring us, that we want to share back. But we also can't completely open ourselves up to the underbelly of society either. When I decided to join the blogging world last month, my husband and I both had concerns. Namely, safeguarding me and my family from the dangers this could create for us. I understand what you mean when you say it made you sad having to remove your husband's and children's names-I have to do the same thing. When I would love nothing more than to show off my family, and to put my name to my work, I don't have that luxury. We can't be too careful. There are no identifying pictures and no real names on my blog. But regardless of this, every word I pour out on there is very personal and real. Thanks for sharing your story.<br />Hope to read more from you in the future! I'm a new follower from the Finding New Friends blog hop! Would love it if you'd swing by my <a href="http://www.lindylegend.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">blog</a> when you get a chance! :)lindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02715499969607564911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2879249761854843465.post-60385920478007001812011-05-21T09:24:48.788-07:002011-05-21T09:24:48.788-07:00that is a crazy scary situation!!!

It's hard to make that kind of decision, I love blogging, It's something I've done for a long time and can't really see my life without it, I don't put up so much private information, specifically the town I live or the area I live in. Don't stop what you love for the fear of it, the good out weighs the bad. I'm a new follower btw :)<br /><br />http://deeluxuries.blogspot.com/Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00398332742894833506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2879249761854843465.post-39535127566428663032011-05-21T02:04:06.803-07:002011-05-21T02:04:06.803-07:00Hey!

I don't use names on my blog and I pretty much keep my internet idenity seperate from my real life one.

I've wondered if I shouldn't take down photos of kids, etc. <br />In the end, I thought to keep going with it. I love it and don't want to edit myself. I mean... there are evil people everywhere and the truth is people try to harm others or their children blogs or no blogs.
