Big brother
I felt a frisson of anxiety when I googled myself (I'm not vain - honest it was the first time in years) and found this blog was the number one hit. If it is true that employers google employees these days, I'll have to be on my best behaviour from now on. Which is pretty unnerving.
My last name is intentionally nowhere on the web page. Has anyone linked to this using my full name? (I'd appreciate it if you didn't, just for the record.) Are there other ways for this to have occurred? I'm kind of creeped out.
And Rob and Jessi, thanks for the chocolate! So few people take my need for sweets seriously (ahem, Jeff). You guys are the best!

Same thing happened to me. Someone must be linking to your blog with your full name. That, I think, is how google found me, after I'd been so diligent in never using the word that is my last name anywhere on it.
It scared me for a long while, but then I just let it be what it is. I'm sure that will come back to bite me in the ass at some point.
You're very welcome Laura! It was alot of fun picking out the chocolates (were they any good?). For those who are interested, we ordered them from Chocolates Now which is in the UK and so we didn't pay outrageous delivery fees! (http://chocolate-now.co.uk/)
BTW, you can kind of see who's linking to your site (as far as google is concerned) by typing "link:yoursite" into the google search. Your site only turned up my blog and herroyalhighness and neither of us seem to have used your last name. So it's a mystery to me!
These are the google search results
Oops, I meant herhighness not herroyalhighness. Sorry!
I'll take royalty where I can get it! ;)
I do know of a few other people linking to me, but I doubt they're the problem either. I'm still mystified. The only place I can think of that I may have linked my full name with my web address could be registering to comment on a friend's blog. Is there any way google could have picked up on that? (My name doesn't show when I coment on the blog - I think it's just security for the blog owner. I can't remember if it asked for my last name but it might have.) If that IS how this happened, that is really annoying and invasive.
