Security Update*

About a week ago I revealed my inner insecurities about privacy and my little blog. I posted a poll and 26 wonderful people responded. (If you haven’t yet voted, I’d really appreciate it if you did!)

I’m not entirely sure what to do at this point. Of the 26 people that voted, 7 voted that they would not be comfortable sending me an email address for me to invite them to continue reading if I closed it to the general public. While that number makes up the minority, it’s significant enough for me to pause for a minute. I don’t want to turn any of you away… I love that you visit me. It means a lot to me!

I’m also at a loss because I’ve learned that blogger will only let me have a maximum of 100 invited readers. While I’m not trying to make myself seem more popular than I am, it really puts a limit on the future of my readers… you know?

So, before I do anything I’m trying to find out if there is any way around this limit, and I’m also exploring other blog hosts. I would be so sad to leave blogger as I love this spot, but I don’t want to be limited like that. Does anyone know of any other blog hosts that allows “invited readers” but doesn’t have a low limit? I’d appreciate any input you might have!

Anyway, I’m not going to do anything drastic yet, I don’t start full-time placement for another month. I’ll keep you posted. :)
