Sign into blogger. Under settings click on BASICS. Then there are 2 questions.
1. Add your blog to our listings? Click NO
2. Let search engines find your blog? Click NO
This prevents random people just finding your blog thru blogger. The only way people can come across your blog is if you are linked from other blogs OR by you giving them your direct blog address. Also if you leave a comment on someones blog people can't click on your name and go directly to your blog. It has to be a direct link!
Hopefully this will help be less public but not totally private!! We shall see. Hope this answers your questions and helps!!!

ReplyDeleteYAY! Thank you for sharing! That is great to know! :)

This is what I have done also!! I think it has worked for me. My sitemeter shows me who looks and it always comes from someone elses blog who has linked me. I guess it could end up being a total stranger, but more than likely it is someone who knows someone!!
ReplyDeleteHi Allison,
ReplyDeleteI'm Jenny Thompson's mom and also a 2nd cousin to your father-in-law. (Our grandmothers were sisters.) I tried to leave a comment on your earlier piece about going private but I'm so blog ignorant that I couldn't do it. I found your name on Chelsie's blog and originally clicked on because of your last name. It has been fun to see pics of your kids and pics of Curtis and Karen! Thanks for letting me stalk!
