in Your Baby is on Flickr on Dave Delaney : Dave Made That
I generally don't even make photos of my children public. Nor do I even talk much about them publicly.

The people who are interested in seeing them are people that I know and are connected to me through the various social networking sites that I publish photos for immediate connections only.

My reasoning is there is just too much to go wrong by being public with this information/data and at the same time there is nary a benefit. There are all types of predators on the internet and I wouldn't want pictures of my children causing any prompting in them to attempt to seek them out. Couple that with sharing too much information about them publicly and a would be predator could easily assimilate a story to make my children feel like they were known by me or my wife. Creating a since of safety and familiarity with them should they be approached without my presence.

This is actually a big concern I have for all the "mommy blogs" out there where parents openly share a TON of information about there family publicly when wee ones are involved.

Maybe I am overly paranoid, but I rather be faulted for that, than to have something happen to them.

Dave Delaney Yes, that's also an option too of course. Good point.

Dave Delaney It's a ringtone. iTunes recognizes it as that. Import the file to iTunes, it
should appear under Ringtones, then sync your device.
