Fellow parents and bloggers, we all love putting our kids pictures, videos and stories up for our friends, family and anyone who is interested to see our daily lives. But in the world we live in we have to be cautious how we do it. If you, like us put your child out for the world to see please be sure to be careful to still keep certain information private. I know we put up pictures of ourselves and our kids and we use our names on our sites, but we still need to keep a certain amount of anonynimity for our families. One way to do that is to go under false names. Another, be cautious not to give out information like last names, schools your children attend or other information that could aide a potential predator in finding out to much about you.
While we hope nothing like that ever happens, we also don’t want to put ourselves in a situation where we or our kids are in any danger. When you write on your websites or put your videos up on YouTube, just keep in mind that you don’t always know who may be watching. If you run a blog or other site about your children, take care to make sure your personal details are secure on your domain name. Someone with not much computer knowledge can find out who owns a domain and even where they live, so check with your hosting company right away and see what security they offer to keep you anonymous. If your registrar or hosting company doesn’t offer this service, www.domainsbyproxy.com is a good company to check out.
Keep putting up those cute stories! Just keep you and your family safe at the same time! God bless you all!
