But wordpress would not cooperate. I tried adding my closest friends/family and it would not allow some of them but would for others and I'm sick of fighting with it. The blog was getting hundreds of hits per day (over 300 the week of Halloween) and after I made it private it got about 5 per day--so hardly anyone was able to log on.
The funny thing is I don't mind total random strangers reading this blog. It's the distance (laziness?) the blog has enabled amongst certain people I care about (why spend time with loved one's when you can just read about them online?).
So, here's my request... If you want to know how my family is doing, call us, visit us. The blog is an online baby book and your reading it is wonderful and maybe makes you feel closer to us, but it's a one-way medium and we do not feel closer to you. I don't mind strangers or acquaintances lurking, just not loved ones. Don't be lazy--don't abuse the blog. You know who you are.
Sorry Guy.
