Some Helpful info

I just posted this info for a family member and then realized that some people might not know this so if this is helpful to anyone, great!

I don't think many people know this, it's like on facebook how unless you go into security settings and make a few adjustments, everyone and their pet can see and hear everything about you even though you don't know them.

You can change a couple of settings that don't let search engines find your blog and people can't click next blog and yours pops up. That's what we did and we haven't had any problems. Go to customize>settings>basic> then select NO to add your blog to our listings. (that will eliminate others from seeing your blog just from clicking next blog) then scroll down farther and select NO to let search engines find your blog (this makes it so people don't find your blog just by googling someone or something that resembles your name or a kids name).

Another good thing to do is set up word verification or set it up so you can view the comment and accept or reject it before it is published. That way computers don't spam your blog with ads and other random stuff.

If you make these changes you won't have weird random people accessing your blog.


ALSO IT'S PROBABLY GOOD YOU DO THIS SO THE PEOPLE LISTED ON YOUR OPEN-TO SEARCH-ENGINE-BLOG AREN'T BEING EXPOSED IF THEY DON'T WANT TO BE!
