I completely agree with you about being concerned about stats. The last few weeks I have been doing that and trying to get my blog out there and have not been as concerned about---well, just enjoying what I have to say. Stats can be very addicting. :( But, after reading this, I am going back to focusing on my content! :) Thanks for the post. Looking forward to reviewing your other blog tips. <br /><br />~JoshuaA Runners Enduring Excursionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17319685382684990515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940553413759896971.post-65553606641029245752012-11-01T08:54:28.660+13:002012-11-01T08:54:28.660+13:00Loving all the newbie tips!

I love the tip about child security. I am a social worker who works with child maltreatment and it is scary how many threats are out in the world. I also never thought about the future job hunting. I have used my kids nicknames just because it felt right.

We started our blog so long ago, as a way to keep our family overseas up to date on our lives. We didn't participate in blogging communities then or give thought to privacy issues (this was back in 2003!). Since then so much has changed and I love 'meeting' other bloggers and participating. My priority is to change our blog name and do nick names (I just hope there's a 'find and replace' option for all the names on all the posts going back to 2003!!!).<br /><br />I also want to clean up my side bar, make a new header and create new pages to group different topics, such as art ideas, cooking, parties, travel etc. Lots to do, but fun to!<br /><br />I alsoSarahhttp://www.chezlee.co.nznoreply@blogger.com
