Very informative. I agree with you; we must be careful about what we post. But, our friends won't stop tagging our pics. As far as posting is concerned, I usually discuss my writing. I use it as a vehicle to inspire others and they love it. Hopefully, the snake will get so inspired he will not want to bite me. lol! Great post. Very informative.

By that I mean to keep your author's page spotlessly clean of anything that would put you in an unfavorable light. If you just can't resist the temptation to post pics of you dancing with the Philly Phanatic while covered in guacamole and beer during Spring Break, create a separate, private, account that can't be identified with the "writer" you for such things. If your writing is of a G-rated nature and your page also has part of your blog about how you'd like to sunbathe nude with some movie star, you may chase away new readers who are just learning about you; if you're known for your worldly travelogues and you unthinkingly post that you've never actually been more than 100 miles from Nowheresville you'll lose readers because they'll know you're a fraud, etc. Additionally, an editor/publisher may question whether they want to work with you if your page presents you in a less than attractive light. It's no secret that employers check prospective employees online, looking for their networking footprints, blogs, tweets, and such -- opportunities have been made and lost by what your online image says about you. And remember, the Web doesn't forget -- whatever you post will be stored SOMEWHERE, maybe for years, just waiting to be uncovered like a snake under a rock. Don't make the mistake of letting that snake bite you someday. Lela, you undoubtedly already know this, but I mention it for any readers who might forget: SEGREGATE yourself on any networking site.
