Hi folks. I am not entirely sure what to do with the blog. I enjoy sharing pictures and I know I have a lot of family that uses this to keep up with us. At this point, it will take some time to get everything back because every post involved was moved to private.
I am really struggling with what I consider the most important…the joy that the pictures bring to people I care about, or that .0000001% who see something in the pictures that makes my skin crawl and protecting my son and ourselves from that element. Aaarg. Tired pregnant brain is not helping. I guess I will just give it a few days to think some more.
Zach has already started building a blog that I was going to switch to around the end of summer, so we might move the date up on that, or we might put a watermark on all our pictures, or we might go protected, or just set it up like it was and say ’screw it’, I can’t control what people think and I didn’t do anything I need to hide from.
Maybe sometime soon we will be able to make a decision. I just get sad thinking about it.
It’s hard. It’s maddening that your own photos can be put on someone else’s hard drive or website without your knowledge or consent and used to no good end. But, I don’t want the bad guys to win, either.
Do you mean you aren’t going to just go private? I would really miss your blog, but I understand your “mama bear” feelings toward this grossness going on. I am still a bit in shock and I have not been able to get on the site to check for pics of Zep, so I am concerned about that . I hope this doesn’t scare all the great mama bloggers away though. I am going to go private and stick it out.
