Is your blog public or private?
Public blogs can be viewed and read by anyone on the internet, anywhere in the world.
{There are two types of private blogs.}
You can set your blog to private and allow selected readers access to the blog. By doing this, only the readers you have selected will be able to read the blog.
You can also set your blog to private so that you are the only one who is able to view it. By doing this, you can write whatever {just as in a diary or journal} and no one will be able to see it.
Many individuals have their blogs set to public so that anyone can read what they have posted, but sometimes it may be necessary to set your blog to private. If an individual is posting personal information, they may only want close friends or family to read their blog. Other individuals may need to set their blog to private because of their career.

I agree - personal information, say about your kids, may mean you want to go for a private blog. I do mention some personal information about people but not sufficient amounts to make them identifiable and so the blog is public.
My blog is public and so I do try to keep a lot of personal stuff off of it. I don't mention my family or post photos of them. I try to keep it mostly about writing or current stuff in my life I'm thinking about.
My blog is public. Visiting from the A-Z challenge. ♥

my blog is public, and although i do share some things about myself--i make sure the things I share are all related to writing, since that's my blog's theme.
