I realized something today. Today I'm the oldest I've ever been.
They say with age comes wisdom. Along with a good dose of skepticism and distrust. Well I guess I'm showing my age because I'm feeling less and less comfortable putting pictures of my sweet girl out there for all to see.
I started this blog with all of 3 viewers who I'm guessing were my mom, my grandpa, and myself. Since then I've had a few more friends and family members mention that they enjoy reading posts and seeing pictures. That's where I started to get greedy: I wanted to expand my audience to people I didn't know. People always seem to enjoy and comment on the pictures in the posts. More pictures = more popularity, right? I also became disenchanted with Facebook so my blog became my #1 outlet for sharing photos (yes, I do know how to spell it correctly!). And thus the birth of Foto Friday.
But today, in my old age. I am feeling more skeptical and protective of my family's privacy. It's not that I read some scary news article about internet predators (although I did read a scary blog post about a similar topic here). I don't really know what has caused this turn of events. I guess I've just decided that I'm happier writing for myself and my friends and family who already know me.
So although it will make some of you quite sad, as I know Fridays were quickly becoming your favorite day (and not just because it was the end of the work-week), I am here-by canceling Foto Friday. I am toying with the idea of starting to post pictures on FB again because there are more precise security settings. Maybe I'm just going to be okay not posting pictures anywhere. We shall see.
