Why I Think We Should
- Many of our family and friends have gone private. (don't really know their reason for going private, but know it must have been a good one)
- We know of a few people who look at our blog who we'd rather not.
- We now have a daughter we need to protect.
- We have one follower of our blog and neither of us know who it is. (they look nice and all, but I just thought it was funny that they started following our blog without ever leaving us comment or letting us know who they are)
- We have received a couple comments from people we don't know.
Why I Think We Should Not
- Many of our family and friends have gone private and I always forget to check their blog because it doesn't show that it's been updated.
- It will be harder for friends to find my blog. (Some old friends that have found my blog still knew me as Tori Christensen, if it's private all they will see is "The Goodrich Life" and won't know it's mine.)
- We have a lot of family that like to look at our blog that don't have a blogger account or would even know how to sign in. (Like my parents and Grandma, and I know a lot of Ryan's side like to look at it too)
- The only story I've heard why people go private is the one about the guy at the park. (I guess it wasn't scary enough for me. I don't even think that happened in Utah, did it?)
- I'm pretty cautious about what I post on our blog now that we live here. (and will continue to be)
- Another reason we've never gone private is because we were living in Bear Lake, and I think there had only been one major crime in the last 100 years.
- I also don't like to be a worry wart and think bad things will happen. I like to think positive and think of good things instead of bad. (I'm sure I'm going to get a list of whole lotta bad that's happened though- right?)
Well, just let me know what you guys think. I just know whenever I hear of another blogger going private I'm like "Oh no, now I'm going to have to sign in every time and remember to check all these!" Then I forget who has gone private and who hasn't.

So what is the story about the guy in the park? And how do you check to see who is looking at your blog? I think either way you are fine! I would have gone private if I would have known how to after that guy left a mean comment that one time! Ha Ha!
She is so cute Tor! I can't believe she already says dada that is so darling! Sometimes I hate that our blog is private because I know how annoying it is to check blogs that are private because you don' know when they've updated!
I debate frequently as well -- but for now i'm committed to staying public. I just try to be careful and not say where I live or give out too much information. Although I am interested to see who the people are that look at my blog in indonesia and japan - do you use google analytics?
