Predator proof your blog

I got this from another blog friend Thank you for posting this. Please lets all think about doing this. For all of our safety

It has come to my attention that blogs are one of the favorite ways that sexual predators find their victims. They read through blogs and find pictures they like. Sometimes, they are able to find their prey just from the innocently posted information contained in blogs or online chat rooms. This is very scary to me. So why have a blog then, you might ask? Well, I think that blogs can be a great way to get the information out to your readers. I enjoy writing and putting up pictures for my friends and family to see. It is a great way to vent your frustrations or just get your random thoughts out there.
I went through my site this morning and did a few quick things to help protect my family. I would encourage everyone reading this to do the same thing. I got these ideas from the FBI’s National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. READ MORE
First go through your blog and look at each picture. Make sure that the pictures don’t contain any license plate numbers, street addresses, phone numbers, the name of your kids school, or any other identifying information that could potentially bring your loved ones in contact with someone who may wish to harm them. Delete the pictures that are in question or simply blur the part of the picture using a simple photo editing software.
Read each post. Make sure you don’t give out any personal information. Don’t name your work, your location, your kids school, the gym you hang out at, your frequently visited restaurant list, or anything that might point directly to your neighborhood. You also shouldn’t talk about future plans. For instance, don’t say you will be out of town next week, or you will be going to Joe Schmoes on Tuesday. Keep your posts informative but vague.
Following these simple rules you are helping to protect your family.
Oh and pass along the word to all your blogging friends… Let’s all be safe–rrr!
