Blog Business
Periodically I Google myself, mostly to pat myself on the back at how prolific (or so it appears--ha.) a book reviewer I used to be, but also to make sure nothing bad (or naked) appears.
I've heard that nowadays, people's Internet past can come back to bite them in the ass when they interview for jobs (though HR can't ask any personal questions, they sure can look them up online). That's probably the corporate world. I sort of doubt that would happen in my line of work--the shelter doesn't even have Internet--but still. Better safe than sorry.
So usually I just see book reviews and my name in old mastheads of library journals. Minor heart attack today then, when I tried another search engine (either Yahoo! or Dogpile--can't remember which), and found a few of our posts here.
Unless anyone speaks up soon with a compelling reason against this, I'm going to put in some coding that will exempt this site from showing up on searches.
