So the time has come

The time has come that the adventures of the Petersen's is going to be a private blog. Too many spam and weird comments coming across, the idea that any "coo-coo" could google us and read about moments that I really just want real friends and family to enjoy. So the decision has been made. Drew and Lilly support me in this decision and will probably thank me even more when they are mature enough to realize what the Internet is.

With all that out in the open, if you would like to continue reading our family blog please leave me a comment with your email address and or you can send me an email at:

linzkbrant@aol.com

I have to give Aimee credit for influencing me to do this because it has been on my mind for a while now, and by her doing it, it made me take the leap as well. So the next couple paragraphs I stole for her blog because I could not explain it as clearly as she did. So I am openly admitting to plagiarism right now. Can I still get in trouble? I wonder.

Don't worry it isn't that complicated either. There are just a few easy steps if you don't have a google account. Once you give me your email I will enter you into the list and if you are not registered then they will send you an invitation on how to set one up. You do not have to set up a blog to do this. Remember to use the email you gave me when you set up the account or it wont grant you access.

I have found the easiest way for me to view my friends private blogs is to check the box that says "remember me" or "keep me logged in" and then you don't have to log in every time you want to view our blog. Just add my blog address to your favorites bar or bookmark it and you are set!

The only bummer part to the blog being private is that if you have me on your blog roll it will no longer show the current post. I will slowly slip down to the bottom of your blog roll, but that does not mean I am not posting or updating the blog.

My hope is that all of you that check in with us daily, weekly, or every once in a while will continue to do so and we will continue to do silly things and grow-up and grow young(in Todd and I's case) on this blog, but it will only be seen now by loved ones. Thanks in advance for hanging with us!!

I will leave this post up for a while for those every once in a while readers to see it and respond if they want to.

Until we meet again in the private blog world,

The Petersens
