Right click?

Ok just something I thought I would share: I was wondering about this whole privacy thing. I mean my blog is open to the world, so I know right there I am putting myself at risk. I mean I am careful not to divulge any private information (except my email address)but it still worries me sometimes. I came across a code you can put it to your blog to disable the right-click. Apparently this does not work though if you have Mozilla like I do. Also there are ways around this. Just by print screen you can get around it. Also "save as", and "copy image location". So in actual effect, if the person really wants to, I am sure there is a way around it. Also your blog template is not even safe. You can right click on a blog and click on "view page source" and see all the details that way. I was quite surprised to, when I typed in "scrapping till the cows came home" in Google search and got a list of my blog entries and then scrolling down it gave me "Blog lines-people subscribed to this feed also read" and a list of other blogger's I know of and read their blogs too! Weird. Sorry, maybe I am still just new at all of this, but that was new to me and fascinating! Okay off to bed now!

Yup, I learned a long time ago, if you want to keep anything private, never put it on the internet. There are no laws that I know of that protect your privacy on the internet.

This is so strange that you would write this. Just yesterday I came to your blog to look at your source code because I couldn't figure out how to add a background image to my blog and wanted to see how you did it. (I hope you don't mind) But I wouldn't worry too much about it. I've said it before, if someone wants to go to the trouble of looking things up about certain people, there is PLENTY of info out there. Most of it we haven't even put there ourselves, but it's public records. I just have the philosophy that if something happens, I will deal with it then. I'm a big worrier, so I have to let some things slide or they will eat me up.
