    Hey
    So i`m thinking of writing my own blog, been thinking about doing one way back but decided not to, but now i want to do one.
    I`m just wondering how easy is it for someone to trace your IP Address on a blog/website?
    I keep getting paranoid that whatever i put someone is going to trace my IP and find where i live.
    If someone, (and i DON`T emphasize the one :-D) could help me out with this query i`d be eternally greatly.:)

    Cheers

    LW

    LW, if you connect to a blog and make posts for the most part there is no public trace of IP address except for on the site you are using. In otherwords if you were on blogger.com, they could get your ip but you are usually very safe there and most blogging sites. IP addresses can often be easily obtained by someone with the knowledge in certain situations. Obviously you are concerned about something and I always say the best way to stay safe on private on the internet is to not use it :) Let me know if I can be of further assitance.
