Security security security...

I don't know if anyone has noticed but I've been playing with my blog a bit .    I have even changed my picture and my name . Then I put my name back on my blog.  (Sorry if I confused anybody!)
 I am concerned  about my personal info that I put out on my blog, like my name, my family pictures,.
I want to continue to be as honest as I can, but without putting everything out there in cyberspace.  I know mnay of my blogging buddies don't use their real name., and they don't have a lot of  personal information.
I am afraid that I can't undo what I have already done and all that I will end of doing is confusing all of you in the process.
I need a little help here, Is it worth it to try and put the genie back in the bottle? 
What are your thoughts on internet security, is there anything that I can ?
Or am I being a little paranoid?

Blogging is making me cranky...

I love blogging with all of you, but I am finding it very frustrating lately. I realize that I am addicted to my blog and I'm thinking of going on the 12 step program for computer addicts.... but I can't quite commit.
Guess that's the problem!

Lately, I am having a real problems reading and commenting on others blogs. I have been trying everything I know to solve this problem .

Truth be told, I have not yet reached the computer geek level with my computer skills , so I need a little HELP ! I have been consulting with my helper in the picture above but as you can see she is still knocked out from her BIG breakfast the other day. Tisk!

After reading a couple of other blogger's comments this week,I found hints that maybe I'm not the only one having these issues.

Here's my problem,... when I click on one of one of my favorite blogs to read, I click my mouse on the title of the blog and I get this clicking sound and a little yellow star on my cursor. An error message says that I have to press the CTRL. key as I click the mouse on the blog title. HUH? I do this but am not always successful... then I get cranky and go onto something else.

Then when I try and comment , I can't seem to do so without turning off my pop-up blocker and half the time I loose my comment and have to start all over again.

I reset my security level to medium, I checked the web sites that are allowed, I read the help topics .... nothing has worked so far!

So if there is anyone out there with similar issues...HELP..

...if not,.... then I'll just join Gracie up there in the picture and wait out the Gremlins that are obviously playing with my sanity.
