The eternal internal debate...

... is whether or not to go private with my blog.

And I guess I'm going to bite the bullet and just do it. Sigh...

I don't really want to because it bugs me to have to log into my own blog and I know people don't like to have to log in to see others. What!! - and no google reader feed- arg!!! And sometimes I come across someone's blog that I know but I don't have a way to contact them to be invited. Sigh...

Mostly it's for my peace of mind that I'm going private because I think about it every day and I have enough to worry about.

I've never heard of a real person having problems with their blog and predators though I hear the warnings all the time from FBI authorities, but I guess I don't want to take the chance. Perhaps I'm taking more of a chance taking my little family to Walmart - probably! You never know who lurks about. sigh...

I'm not out to exclude family, friends, or friends of friends, so comment with your email address or send me an email to happyfam{at}gmail{dot}com, if you'd like an invite. I know I don't have everyone's email who reads the bloggy so be sure to email me.

sigh... wouldn't it be nice to live in a safe, safe world with no boogie-people. sigh...

I know you have my email- please don't leave me out.:) I understand the back and forth with it all. I found if I log into my gmail then go directly to my blog, I don't have to "login". Just an FYI.

Don't forget me!

I just go to my main google accounts page. It automatically logs me in and I can access my reader, blogs, and gmail from one page. Easy!

I LOVE being private and knowing who is reading my blog. Much more peace of mind! I have had several people ask me to be invited or tell me people who used to read my blog want to read it again...and I invite them...so it isn't too big of a deal. I just invited an aunt and uncle and cousin last week, who I had no idea had seen my blog in the first place before. Kinda funny.

Please invite me! I have been thinking about goind private myself, but I hate to leave people out, not that I have that many people reading my blog anyway. Although, it would be nice to know exactly who has access. I'll probably bite the bullet here soon.

Add me too please. I commented earlier (I thought) but I don't see mine here. I am always hitting the wrong button. Thanks, Lori
