Just a helpful suggestion, if you’re going to blog about your job/personal details, you probably want to go ahead and block access from your employer/stalker ex-boyfriend.
You don’t have to have a “private” or password protected site, in many instances a simple addition (or creation) of an .htaccess file will suffice. For the less technically inclined, HTML Basicx has an online .htaccess block access generator. This is not a fail-safe plan, but it certainly beats no plan at all.
Since I suspect I may be part of the reason for this post, thanks for the suggestion. I agree it is a good idea even if you don’t think your employer is smart enough to do a Google search. Of course I’m dangerously close to reaching that bad attitude point of not caring at all – yeah, some one has to take away my blog access before it really all hits the fan.
I was just going to ask what sparked this post. If I ever need to do that, I’ll be referring to this post.
Hey, I’ll tell ya right now, I’ve already .htaccess blocked all services from starwoodhotels.com, and I haven’t even badmouthed my peeps! I just don’t need them to know *everything*.
Something tells me a MT Plugin for private posts would be VERY useful… if only I knew anything about writing MT plugins.
htaccess are VERY handy, though.
It could’ve been me. Oh wait, I only bitch about my job on other peoples’ blogs =)
What’s funny is the people who come to your website and think that they are anonymous. I could write the book on family members finding my site and lurking or worse yet leaving assinine comments.
