There...Be careful when it comes to pics and stuff. There are a lot of trolls out there. I have several. These people love to hate those who are happy. At one point someone was able to figure out what firm my husband worked for by reading every single post I have ever written and piecing together information. PYSCHO!!! I went back and edited all of my posts.Bengali Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06030646989651589089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-70062691217592929602007-03-02T22:47:00.000-06:002007-03-02T22:47:00.000-06:00It's a mixed blessing.

I originally started my blog when my sister was in the midwest; the old blog was a subdomain of my home domain (mactyre.net) so there was no question about being eponymous. I don't get to blog about my really weird family much, unfortunately, because I will get calls about even small things ("What did you mean, 'family drama ensued?'" my father asked a couple of phone calls back). Even my really technologically ignorant mother (I had to walk her through using her Mac) has found and read it. <BR/><BR/>I don't worry about other people finding me, because I've had a named web presence for over 10 years and you can find some really goofy old usenet posts I made on alt.comics.batman, even. The blog isn't that embarrassing. :)<BR/><BR/>A nice thing about the blog being "public" is that old friends and friends of the family have found me through the posts -- a seminary classmate of my dad's, my sister's roomate at TCU, even my high school boyfriend. In law school, random people would start talking to me like they knew me and it would take a while for the wheels to turn and to realize why. (When I went back to judge a moot court, some of the contestants had read my blog because it's linked from the law library site!) <BR/><BR/>It's a hard call, with advantages and drawbacks on either side. I think if I were pursuing the big firm life I wouldn't go public, because I'd hate to have to explain it to someone who didn't get it. But for what I do, it doesn't matter (and is occasionally an asset).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-33270020791105068232007-03-02T17:53:00.000-06:002007-03-02T17:53:00.000-06:00My family knows--they're why I started the silly t...My family knows--they're why I started the silly thing. Both sides know about it, because I won the in-laws lottery.<BR/><BR/>But I never ever post identifiable pics. I've put up pictures of feet and hair... never faces. For one thing, it's their privacy I'd be messing with. For another, it just does NOT seem prudent. I think baby pics are probably fine, because most newborns really do look alike. But there are other places online I can post pics for just friends/family to see.<BR/><BR/>And since I just yesterday heard an internet horror story (ongoing, unfortunately) about friends of ours, I'm not going to change that policy any time soon.<BR/><BR/>Other stories may vary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
