@ Carole — You raise a good point — I have an eight-year-old myself, although thankfully he has precious little interest in what I’m reading or writing.

While I agree with you that young children can see the blog, I think my primary issue with the kids-on-the-internet thing is that while you as the parent or guardian are around, it’s controllable. If they’re peeking over your shoulder, you can talk to them, communicate with them, explain. When they’re hiding out in their rooms and just surfing, you have very little involvement in what they do.

Still, though, along the lines of the new tagline idea, I think “Not Safe For Work” is a good choice. :-)

Thanks for coming to leave a comment — it’s great to have you!

I did want to comment on something you said in this post, though:

“My readers are adults, my target market is adults, and I would seriously wonder about how a seven year old found themselves here.”

Unless I’m misunderstanding something, your target market is ADULTS WHO WORK AT HOME…. I’m one of those, and it’s not uncommon for one of my children to come stand next to me when I’m working on the computer; more than once, I’ve had to quickly navigate away from a page (not yours — at least, not yet) so they would not see/read something inappropriate. (I don’t spend a lot of time reading inappropriate things — they just always seem to wander over while I am.)

Anyway, like I said — I just had to comment on that, since I think it’s actually pretty likely that there may be kids who see your blog, even though they aren’t your un/intended readers.

So congratulations on your bravery and honesty..I’m adding you to my blog roll…your the best…

When I think about it some more, it’s all about tone, inflection and intent, right?

So, what about making up swear words?
