I just wanted to add a few things about photos... *Don't add tags or descriptions...they can be used as keywords. *Don't name your image what it is like "baby_bathtime"...they can be used as keywords as well. It is better to use the date (8212008)or the name your camera initially gave the image. *Password protect when possible. Wordpress offers an option to password protect posts and pages...use them so only those you trust can view them! Hi!

I just wanted to add a few things about photos…

*Don’t add tags or descriptions…they can be used as keywords.

*Don’t name your image what it is like “baby_bathtime”…they can be used as keywords as well. It is better to use the date (8212008)or the name your camera initially gave the image.

*Password protect when possible. Wordpress offers an option to password protect posts and pages…use them so only those you trust can view them!

I have incorporated much of these suggestions - many have formed as I have gotten wiser... I wish I had had this info when I set out over 4 years ago, but it's good to see I have been taking most of the right steps in protecting my family, etc... Very good info here.

I know that I am probably waaaay too free with details on my blog, but it's tough partly because our blog is also something that a lot of our family and friends read to get updates on my daughter -- so to some extent, I feel like I need to provide details. This post has inspired me, though, to do two things. The first is to be careful about what I post in pictures, and the second is to head over to gmail and create a new anonymous email address for my blog. It's not much, but at least it's a start.
