Changes

Our blog has been somewhat safe from internet predators because I have kept it off search engines and blog searches.  The only way you've been able to access our blog has been to type in the correct web address.   After almost 6 years, I've decided to protect our memories by allowing only invited readers to view our blog.

What this means for you:
You will receive an invite from Blogger and will have to sign into Google Blogger, creating a username and password.  For the most part, once you're logged in, you might not have to log in every time you visit.

What this means for us:
No one, NO ONE, will be able to see our personal family photos, videos of Ella or our journal of day to day activities without my permission.

I just feel it's safer this way.  I'd rather have my friends and family sign in than have to delete my blog and 6 years of archived memories.  I hope you understand.

I know the nature of blogging, so please, please, share with me anyone who reads or wishes to read this by sending me their email address.  I will send out an invite.  So even it's your mom or grandmother, whom I've never met; or you sister-in-law, or cousin's cousin, a neighbor....  I am more than happy to share our lives .... just not with internet predators or strangers trolling the internet preying on families minding their own business.  

I have a friend who lost her blog of images of her children because of some false internet links, linking her personal info with someone else with the same name... Here is the link if you'd like to read her story.  It's what's made me change my settings to make it even more secure than it was before.

Here's that link if you are interested...  TIN STAR PHOTOGRAPHY
