We just have to take care of our profile.

I actually did not delete my old blog content even though it wasn’t and still isn’t ‘on brand’. For me it is a case of – this is where I was before I discovered myself & this is where I am now.
On the privacy issue, I really don’t know as nothing can really be done about it especially for we bloggers who continually churn out content. IMO, it is better to offer up a little of your personal life than hold back and let the public determine what it is by the content they see.

So true! My mother-in-law constantly makes comments on my page, so I’ve blocked her from seeing them several times, but she keeps being able to access my page. So, I give up.

That’s true, but what happens when the privacy settings become so confusing that even the top social media people can’t keep it straight (like in the case of Randi Zuckerberg)? To be honest, I don’t really have the time to stay on top of privacy settings, every one I’ve set gets unset when they change their policy.

Oh my goodness! I have deleted my first few blogs… just for that reason, I did not want people to see some of my old musings because it wasn’t “on-brand” even though I still am interested in pretty much the same stuff.
Either way I think the question will come up more and more as people establish more elaborate histories online.

I haven’t made a Facebook page for my blog because of the same reason. I also don’t want my own “friends” to see that I have a blog. It’s sort of my own personal secret. Only a few close friends and family know about it. My blog is something I created for me, and I don’t need anyone I know (or will know) getting the wrong impression of who I am (e.g., superficial, obsessed with clothes, high-maintenance) and what that will mean for my future (e.g., potential employer not interviewing or hiring me).

We can change security preferences according to our need.
