Going Private

I really hate to have to do this but we feel like it's time to make our blog private. There have been some recent events that make us feel like it's time to keep our life a little more private. We get about 400 unique visitors to the blog and I really don't know where a lot of that traffic is coming from and some of it makes me nervous. But I also want people who we might not know but read the blog from another source to feel comfortable coming back. So, even if I don't know you, please leave a comment or email me at qballf@gmail.com if you would like an invite to the blog. If you're coming from another source, let me know how you got here. For all my friends and regulars, please email with a current email addy so I make sure to get everyone.

Thanks for understanding. I know it's inconvenient to have to sign in but we really feel it's best for now. We'll officially go private in about 10 days, hopefully getting the word out to everyone!

I think I'll be doing this soon too. Is there an option to see how many people look at your blog, if you know how to do that I'd love to have that information so that I can check ours too. My email is elisa.g.smith@gmail.com

MarieC said...

Tell me, too, how to check the blog visitor numbers. I have no idea! And of course I want an invitation! marie(at)4cummings.net.

we'd love and invite and the information on tracking blog visitors.

Thanks!

Jan Russell said...

Aww, I feel badly, because I'm always clicking on links and then links on those blogs...I'll bet it's all harmless visitors like that... I hate that I'm worrying other bloggers out there...

Anywho - my email is JRuss544@hotmail.com

Kristi said...

LOL, I do the same thing, Jan. I think most of us do!

I sent you my e-mail addy. I need my Monique blog fix!

Kayla said...

I totally support you! I've been toying with this idea for some time and recently installed a tracker. It has been bothering me to see where people are lurking from....places where I SWEAR I don't know anyone! I don't lurk on other's blogs, so I don't want lurkers on mine....I'll send you an email with my email.

Margo said...

Hey, you know I totally want to be invited, margojarren_smith@hotmail.com Could you also invite my friend Tonya, you know the one I was telling you about. I just have to find her email address and then I will send it to you. I have a feeling Jarren will soon push me into going private. We will see. You have to do what is best for your fam. Love ya.

Casey said...

400? Yikes! I track ours and I would freak out if we had that many. What tracker are you using? I'm using statcounter and it's ok.

Melissa said...

My statcounter often leaves me wondering who's visiting us too. I've made myself feel safe for now by not posting where we live, but still, I sometimes wonder if this is our next step, too. Anywho - I'd like an invite, melissahowell2@yahoo.com

You'll have to tell me what happened. I have to say that I am so sad. I love Google reader. You know my addy. If you don't invite me, I'll just bug you all the more.

Andrea said...

Monique, just yesterday I changed my blog from private to public, and now you are making me question my decision. Please send us an invitation! andreaellis@gmail.com

A said...

Hi. You don't know me, but I went to school with Paul and Nathan. My name is Julie McEachern-Rogers. This is the first time I have come across your blog. You have a beautiful family. I always knew those Frost boys would turn out great! We get to keep up on Paul and his family through our class website. Anyways thanks for sharing, I hope nothing too serious has happened with you wanting to go private, but you really can't be too careful. I have recently just started a blog and was wondering about this tracker that you are talking about. If you get a chance, could you email me with some info. I would really appreciate it. Thanks and good luck with everything. julie@royrogers.com
