My Story When My Social Networking Safety was At Risk. So my social networking safety was compromised last week when my Instagram got hacked. Here is how it all went down. Tuesday afternoon, I got an email with subject "Your Instagram password has been changed". It said: "This is a confirmation that the password for your Instagram account @alanna_girl_model_19yo has just been changed." So I'm like, I'm not @alanna_girl_model_19yo. I'm not gonna think much of this.

"Do I need a blog?" Or even better, "Do I really want a blog?" is in my experience the most asked question when creating a new website for someone.

I try to set myself up for success. For instance, I get dressed as if I were going to an actual office. I mean a cool office where you get to wear jeans. Also I'm very clear…
