I don't know. I feel it's silly to talk about someone specific without using his or her name. If later in life Hallel is embarrassed by things I write here I can friendslock or delete them. But I also don't talk about EVERYTHING, you know? I find it a little jarring when some LJ friends post about intimate details of their love/sex lives, even under friendslock... but then, where I come from it is not considered proper to discuss those things with friends just for the sake of talking about it.

We post pictures of Hallel on places like Facebook or under friendslock, where generally speaking only people who know us will see them. When posting on public forums I avoid using Hallel's name but I'm not really sure why. I have thought about whether to post pictures of the new baby as part of my birth story on those forums. I didn't last time and I'm not sure I will this time. But you know... a newborn baby is a newborn baby. If you've seen one red wrinkly coneheaded baby human you've seen 'em all... :P (Of course, Hallel was objectively perfect. :P Being born small helped with the coneheaded thing at least...)

I really can't imagine what someone could do with pictures of a baby or little kid on the Internet. But I'm a pretty innocent little flower. :-/
