Just a precaution

For the time being, I've taken away administrative rights for everyone except Mom and myself as a precaution. In the first week or so I was learning this stuff I managed to configure the first Clark and Iroz blog to the point where I lost my own administrative rights to it... the idea being... I could just turn it all over to Jason after creating it.

I'm not sure if a blog can be transferred between accounts or not, but I seem to remember "not". It makes little difference however, whose account the blog actually belongs to. All blogs one is a member of (administrative rights or not) show up once you've logged into blogger, whether they are under your account or not. Also, you can choose which blogs listed in your "dashboard" can be seen by someone viewing your profile.

It should be noted however, that whether anyone can see any particular blog listed in one's profile or not, unless one chooses to "house" one's blog/blogs on one's own server instead of the free and unlimited space Google now offers us, these blogs are still very public... as in the whole wide world web public... and someone only need stumble across a blog's particular URL address to view the blog itself. From there your profile and any team member's profile are available to them. So when setting up your profile etc., keep this in mind. You can choose to show as little or as much of your profile as you want. You can also choose whether you want the public at large to be able to comment on your posts or not.
