A mistake I made was agreeing to let them share my blog address with others. Yes, that word of mouth increases viewership, but that can be regreted. My husband shared it with his sister who shared it with her sons. My sister shared it with her husband and sons. My dad shared it with numerous relatives and probably far more people in his town cafe and bars than I'd like. I know, because he told me he did. When suddenly your 2nd cousin that you rarely see comments writing your real name in the comment, some regrets pass through your mind. Actually, she's a wonderful lady, but still...

In the beginning, I linked my blog to social media. Whoa! That can be a big mistake! Then suddenly the aunt that dislikes you is sharing stuff with her sister and brother-in-law that you don't like. And on and on.
Wow. You've just convinced me that I don't want to share anything of mine with the family, nor on social media. Of course, I do use fb to fish for rides to ECT on rare occasions.
