I hate that I have to write this post or even come close to approaching this topic but it has become necessary to do so. Kristy and I started this blog page over a year ago to keep our family and friends updated on our lives out here in upstate NY. With the addition of William to the family it has been a great way to share photos and updates of his development over the past several weeks.

One of the fun things about having your own website is checking how many hits it gets on a daily or weekly basis. One of the programs built in to the WordPress program is a tracker that will tell you what type of searches have pointed people to the website. For example I have had a ton of hits from people doing Google searches for “Newton running shoe product reviews”. Basically it takes key words from our posts and matches them to key words within a given search and up comes our website on the search results page. Being fairly analytical people, both Kristy and I like to check our “results” on a daily basis.

 Two days ago while looking at what searches led people to our site I came across something that made me both want to throw up and strangle the person who conducted this search. It was so disturbing that I won’t even quote the search topic for fear of leading more of these sick freaks to our website.

Being a new parent with some very protective instincts I immediately wanted to lash back and post a blog making all sorts of threats to whoever did this search but fortunately held back and gave myself a couple of days to cool off. Bottom line… we will no longer be posting any sort of picture of us or William on the website anytime soon. We will, however, keep a link to our Flickr website but all of the pictures are now marked “private” and you will be required to be on our contact list to view our pictures. This can be done by creating your own Flickr account and adding us to your contact list. If you have any questions please feel free to email me or post a comment and I’ll try to help.
