Exclusivity in the blog world???

So...my dad was worried that my blog contained too much personal info so I made it open to invited readers only. Then I went to breakfast with a bunch of my old roommates and we were catching up and having a good old time and they commented on how they needed to check out our blog and I realized they couldn't unless I e-mailed them and that just seemed like a pain. Plus, it seems like old friends' blogs are popping up all the time as links on someone else's blog and since I don't have their e-mails to invite them to view my blog I decided that probably it will be ok to leave our blog open to anyone and everyone who wants to read it. I have gone ahead and added as links some blogs (Joel, Christian, Merrill) that I discovered through Brianne's blog and hope you guys don't mind. If anyone doesn't want their blog linked just let me know. I like this handy list as it is how I navigate to everyone's blogs rather than trying to remember everyone's unique blog addresses. Anyways....onto the fun posting of Halloween!
