What are your thoughts?

[wayfaringwordhack]

Many people keep the names of their children, spouses, and various family members "secret" on their blogs, only referring to their loved ones by nicknames. For those of you who do, why do you do it? For those who don't, why not?

Also, what are your thoughts on photos of children on the Internet? Locked post, fodder for all, or not at all?

Yeah, I think it depends on *what* you talk about. Like you said, it is not like you are putting everything out there.

I still haven't decided what to do about photos. I like sharing photos, but they are hardly ever of people. Rather I prefer my surroundings or what I'm up to. I think, though, that my son or daughter might be something I want/need to share more. I say *need* for family, etc, and I don't have facebook and don't plan on ever having it. I can always send them by email. Anyhow, I need to talk to my dear wubs about it and see what his plans are. All his FB friends post pics of their kids, so I'm sure it is something he hasn't really given thought to (ie thinking it might be a privacy issue).
