I am all for blogs. I'm even an admitted blog stalker. I've totally looked up random people I know and not commented. I think we all do it and feel fine about it. I even set up my little map and have seen that actually quite a few people come and lurk around. That's fine. I feel okay about it when I can mostly trace that they are people I probably know and are curious about how we are doing.
However, today I noticed a comment from a person I did not recognize (who did not make an attempt to identify himself or herself). The person was helpful. I guess it's just weird to me to really realize that random people can look at my blog and take a peak into our lives. My life isn't that exciting and I don't mean to scare any of you- I'm just a little paranoid. So... I'm considering going private. Sorry, I know that it might make it a little more of a pain to check our blog. But here is the deal- I will try to contact all the people on my blog roll to let them have access to my blog. If you are not on my blog roll and you enjoy looking at our blog, (and if I even remotely know you) please let me know, and I will be happy to add you to our list of bloggers. You have one week to make yourself known.
If you are the blogger I don't know who left a comment and I really do know you, please let me know so that I can have some peace of mind.

Mag--don't feel bad for going private. It is actually really easy for invited readers to see it if they will just log-in to Blogger before starting to browse blogs.
That is one seriously random comment and posted to promptly too! Hmmmm...where did he come from? I have only had one random comment from a sweet Korean girl who gave me the link to her blog and it really cracked me up. But I am always on the lookout for the oddballs...
Maggie..Totally understand you concern. This is Jinii Thatcher Boren. I would like to be added to you safe list if you go private. My email is jinii(dot)boren(at)gmail(dot)com
It really is a little creepy if you think about it - to see who can access your blog. I like it like you said for people I know - but the random people...just hope they aren't stalkers!
