Sharing Info about Family

Another question I have gotten asked a lot is how mommy bloggers and similar can keep their family's safe.

Safe from predators, identity thieves, the psycho neighbor who creeps you out (not really, well maybe really if you have one). Also safe from your kid growing up and trying to get a job and their new employer finds your blog about how funny potty training was.

Biggest tip - use fake names. Basically create a new virtual nickname for the person and this saves it from ever coming up in a search.

If you have used their real name, go back now and change it. It may show up in the search engines, but hopefully by the time your kid is grown and looking for work, it will be easily buried.
