Including My Address in a Blog Post

My husband Bill reads my blog, which makes me very happy. Yesterday, he commented that it probably wasn't safe to have a link to the Google map of our address right there for everyone to click.

I actually considered this before I made the link, but decided to go ahead and do it because there's so much one can find out about a person just from a simple Google search (especially with a name like mine--there's only one "Whitney Davison-Turley" who comes up).

On reflection, though, I think Bill is right. Yes, anyone can find my address easily enough, and then check out my house on the satellite image, but at least any wannbe stalkers should have to make the extra effort.
