Going Private

I've been toying with the idea of going private for a while. I love the convenience of not having to have people log in, but I also want to protect my kids from the weird people out in cyberspace, and my kids' safety is always top priority. :) (We haven't had any problems yet, but I guess we probably wouldn't know that we had problems until we did...)

However, the only thing that was stopping me was the inability for others to know when my blog was updated. (I know I personally like the convenience of an RSS feed letting me know when someone has updated.) Luckily, for me, my friend Matt and his wife just switched to a private blog and figured out the solution. They post a link on their old blog to the new blog each time they update the blog, and voila--I know when they've updated their private blog.

So, if you want to continue to keep reading the blog (and I hope that you do), please leave a comment or email me (lizwardbarnes{at}gmail{dot}com). And don't worry. I'll delete the comment as soon as I get your address. I know I don't have a lot of your email addresses, but I've loved being able to stay in touch.
