Every now and then I think about making my blog private. Partly because then maybe the people who glance at my blog every now and then will actually comment! (Don't act like you don't read my blog ;) hehe). I'm really big on commenting on others' blogs. Sometimes I think maybe I shouldn't because they never comment back on mine, and it kind of makes me feel awkward. I just don't want to come off as a "creeper" so if I'm reading someone's blog I let them know. They're trying to play it off like I'm the weirdo reading their blog, but then they read mine too! haha jk. It's really not a big deal if people don't comment. It takes time to read everyone's blogs, let alone comment on them too.
Another reason I have considered going private is that I'm applying for a lot of jobs and hoping to enter post-college life of professionalism. I googled my name and found that everything popped up: this blog, my facebook, both twitter accounts. I'm just not sure I really want my personal life to be that accessible. Not that I have anything to hide, because I don't, I just want to keep my personal life exactly that...personal.
However, I don't want to go private because honestly I never read people's private blogs! When they are private they don't show up on my blog reader because they don't transmit and RSS feed. I only view people's blogs when I see they have written something new, and I know that because of the feed. So if you have a private blog, I very rarely visit it because I just totally forget about taking time to visit every private blog individually to see if there is something new. I don't really want reading my blog to be like that for other people.
Lastly, it is kind of a head ache to have to privately invite everyone to read my blog. Additionally, you are limited to 100 readers and that really isn't that many. So I don't know what I am going to do. But ultimately, because I am debating going private I need your email address so I can, in fact, invite you. All readers are welcome, even if you have never commented on my blog if you enjoy reading I would love to have you. Leave your email in the comments, or send me an email/text/facebook message whatever. Family, I have your email addresses you do not need to leave them.
P.S. I've added pictures to the General Conference post below!

Hey Ana Lee (Kory too)!
I like reading your blog-I just recently discovered it! If you do go private, here is my email address fannybanany@yahoo.com
Ana Lee! Here is my email address... hes05001@byui.edu. I always love to read your blog and I love that you comment on my blog. It's so fun!
Haha, I like comments too Ana Lee :) I agree, it's awkward when I'm always the one commenting and the other person rarely comments back...not that it's bad, I just feel like a stalker! Now that I know you feel this way too, I will make sure to comment whenever I see that you've made a post :) My email is sarahosborne12@gmail.com if you decide to go private!
I hear ya on the whole private blog thing... decisions, decisions. :) My email is sadie_goddard@yahoo.com. I'm sorry, I'm probably one of those that doesn't comment enough. I'll do better. :)
Love ya, and I can't wait to see you at Brett's wedding. You'll be there, right?
I totally agree with you on the private thing, I always forget how to get into peoples blogs and then I never read them anymore. But yet, you don't want everyone knowing your private life either. Anyway good luck deciding what to do. I will still read and comment whether you go private or not! :) So my email is rolerskate@yahoo.com. I love reading your blog too, and thanks for always commenting on mine, I always comment on peoples and then no one comments on mine, so I know how you feel. anyway, good luck with that!
Hi analee, I really enjoy reading your blog and I hope you don't mind. Here's my email: kmlawrenson88@gmail.com.
I read your blog! And I even comment sometimes! I don't comment on everyone's blogs all the time because I don't feel like I always have something of value to add.
I hear you on the private blogs, I always had a hard time with those as well! Finally I just made another list on my blog of private blogs I follow, so they are easy to find, and then I check them every few days. It's worked out well for me!
I've also thought of going private, but it seems like too much of a hassle...So I stay public till then! Plus, I've gotten in contact with lots of people I wouldn't have if I were private.
And now that I've written you a novel, the email I use for blogging is primadonna28@hotmail.com
:)
Hey there, I read your blog-and don't comment. sorry. Mine is going private soon too. My email is lizziethayn@gmail.
Used to be beeson-in case you don't remember who I am :) tell your mom hi for me
I guess you can call me a creeper too. I like to read your blog! But, if you're over your 100, don't add me. If you have room...stinabean262@yahoo.com!
DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DON'T GO PRIVATE!
ericamcguire@gmail dot com
Haha! I've felt the same "creeper" feeling when I comment on someone's blog a lot, but they don't comment on mine. It's nice to know I'm not the only one...
Well, if you decide to go private, let me know how it is. I don't necessarily want to go private, but you never know!
there's a setting that will keep your blog from popping up in google searches, i can't remember what it is i'll look it up if you want, but mine doesn't pop up in a google search and it's not private. just fyi.
and you have my email :)
I know what you mean about going private.... I may have to do that soon too, but I really don't want to. We'll just see where life takes us. Here is my email... theychic@hotmail.com
Ana Lee,
If you go private, please invite me!

Sue

I know exactly what you mean by the private blogging. I love when I stumble upon other people's blogs I know but then they are private and I have no way of saying "hi" or even getting to say who I am. BUT I also understand how there are creeps out there and you want to keep you life private.But please add me!
