Public vs. Private Update

Thanks for your great advice (especially Ariana!). I have taken a few steps to make our blog less public, but still accessible. I changed the setting so we won't be on any search engines or blog listings. I also changed my profile to private for this blog. However, Greg had a great idea of creating a 'fake blog'. This is the blog that comes up on search engines and my personal profile. I know my email address is out there, but I'd rather that than my kids. It will still take a few weeks for Google to update their pages, but I'm feeling better. Thanks for all the help!
