Whether you are a novice blogger or expert blogger it is always good to have an extra reminder on how to blog safe. There is a large majority of bloggers who simply blog for family and friends and not for exposure. Here is list of ways to blog more safely.
1. Go Private. For instructions on how to make your blog private click here.
2. Change your blog settings. By changing your blog settings you can select your blog to be removed from blog listings and also search engines. By removing your blog from search engines your blog cannot be searched by search engines such as Google. The only way to access your blog is by entering the exact blog address or clicking a link with the exact address. For instruction on how to change your blog settings, click here.
3. Never use your last name anywhere on the blog. This includes your url address, blog title, and throughout your posts. If your last name is in you url (blog) address it is easy to change to a new name. For instructions on how to change your blog (name) address, click here.
4. Never post actual birthdates. Post birthday events a day, week or even a month after the actual event.
5. Disable right-click to prevent your photos from being copied. Please note, if you disable right-click your viewers will not be able to right click on any of your links as well.
6. Add a copyright image or watermark on your pictures. This can be done by using a photo editing software such as Adobe Photoshop.
7. Never post pictures of the outside of your house or car. Especially with your house number or license plate visible!
8. Never mention where your kids go to school or any workplace.
9. Do not add countdowns for vacations or other events that would allow people to know when you will be out of your house.

13. Have courtesy for your fellow bloggers. When adding your friends and families blogs to your blog list DO NOT include their last names. Many bloggers do not want to go private and are doing their part to protect themselves. Have courtesy and do the same.

Two Words
In one of my health classes we are working on a personal "behavior change" project. Each person in the class was to select a behavior (i.e. exercise, eat more fruits and veggies, get enough sleep, etc) they wanted to change. I chose to work on thinking more positively. I would like to get to where I don't automatically think of a complaint or something negative. Most of the time I do ok, but the other night in class I had an opportunity to measure my progress (or perhaps lack thereof?).
Our instructor made a dreaded two word announcement: Group Project. Argh. I couldn't help it. My immediate reaction was the word "Nooooooo!" screaming through my head. I can't stand group projects. Sigh. I already have another group project going in another class. It's such a pain having to depend on others for my grade, among other things....
Sigh.
