Hey...well the scariness of having pictures of the kids posted on the internet has caught up with me. I have been reading lately too many stories about people who find their pictures (from either a blog or a flickr type account) posted on various websites (myspace, facebook, etc.). There are people out there stealing others pictures and calling them there own. There are also situations in which the child's pictures are being used inappropriately and in a very child pornography way.
So not cool.
That being said I feel that it is my duty as a mom to protect my children and that includes from the internet as well. I have marked all my photos on my Flickr account as viewable by only friends and family. On May 1st, I will also be making this blog private. You will have to be invited to view it and may require a pass code to do so. I am not sure of all the details yet but will let you know as it gets closer.
So, how do you still see our pictures on Flickr?
Watch your inbox for the next couple of days. I will be sending an invite to people that I know view our pictures. Since I don't have everyone email address, if you don't get an invite it doesn't mean we don't love you, I just don't have your address. Email me and we can get it all worked out. I know this is a pain but I feel that in order to protect the boys I either do this or I quite posting pictures. Sorry but I know you all understand and would do the same for your kiddos.
As for the blog, on May 1st you will be receiving an invite for this also. If for some reason you don't or think that I may not have your email address let me know and I will make sure you are on the list. Thanks so much for understanding. Stick with me as we work through all the security details.
