Privacy

In general, I will say that I am concerned about privacy, having kids and all (15 of 'em), but after doing a Google search on myself, I'm not overly concerned. Apparently, the Interweb doesn't care much for me, as I could find very little. Using my parent-given user name, I didn't get a hit til most of the way down the first result page. Using my full name gave a result 2 or 3 from the top, but it was even more obscure and uninteresting. What I did learn was that there are a lot of people out there with my name. And they should give it back.

I was actually surprised by how little I found that was relevant to me. The real me. You know, that one. I would have expected the Google results pages to be just full of me...instead they were full of erzatz me. Boo hoo. I'll get over it, eventually.

As far as blog security goes, I do have plans both sinister and absurd for the blog, so I'm not sure that needs to be hidden from the world. And as long as I keep the names of my 6 kids out of it, and any other personal information that will lead people to my home in Darkness Falls, Virginia, I should be ok.
