This site has been created to help you learn some new tips and tricks to personalize your blog. For this first post lets cover some good Internet safety tips:
1. Don't put personal information about yourself or your family members (or friends for that matter) on your blog. Avoid using your last name, home address, and your phone number. Some people refer to their family members such as DH (dear husband) DD (dear daughter) DS (dear son) or name each child with a number (i.e. "#1 said the funniest thing today!")
2. Remember once you post a picture on the internet you have lost any control over it. Even if you remove the picture from your site- someone might have already copied it and posted it somewhere else. Best way to think of it- don't put anything on your blog that you wouldn't want the creepiest person to use however they wanted. (i.e. maybe rethink the potty training pictures) :)
3. Think about someone reading your blog out of context- are you ragging on your husband's company? What if his boss came across it? (My husband's did with mine!) Don't slander or attack anyone.
4. Keep your events private. If you're husbands out of town- don't post about it until after he is back! Don't list where your children are going to be playing soccer etc.
5. Consider making your blog private. Yes it is a pain to have to invite people to read your blog but it gives you much better control over who is reading your blog. But remember it is not completely safe- still follow the above suggestions. There are some pretty smart creepy people out there!
