Blogger Beware

Image: Family's photo

ST. LOUIS - When Danielle Smith and her family posed for their Christmas card photo last year, they knew they'd share it with family and friends. But the Missouri family wasn't expecting it to show up in the Czech Republic, splashed across a huge storefront advertisement.

Smith, 36, who lives in the St. Louis suburb of O'Fallon, said Wednesday that she posted the photo on her blog and some online social networking sites. It featured her, her husband Jeff and their two children.

About 10 days ago, a college friend was driving through Prague when he spotted their huge smiling faces in the window of a store specializing in European food. He snapped a few pictures and sent them to a flabbergasted Smith.




Is this the craziest thing? Note to self:only post low-resolution photos on my blog. Note to other bloggers:seriously reconsider some of the pictures of your kids you publish.


I do wish I had pictures of myself so good-looking that Czech grocers would steal them for ads. Wouldn't it be tragic to find a picture of yourself somewhere as a "Before" picture. I'm going to the gym right now.

How funny. And strange. Good for you for using this unfortunate incident to motivate yourself to go to the gym.

The worst would be if they used your family picture and Photoshopped Heidi and Spencer in and kept the kids.

It disturbs me that I know who Heidi and Spencer are.
