Dreamhart.org Revamp
So far the comments I have received on the redesign of my website, http://dreamhart.org, have been mostly positive. And even those few which have not been positive have been informative, mostly since their content has given me a rather interesting view into who exactly among my friends has never read my website in any of its various incarnations. Still, I feel compelled to present the following time-line for the edification of anyone else who feels compelled to comment on the "recent" inclusion of certain obviously sensitive information on my website.
I first created a Reiki section of my website on January 9th, 2005. I created a link to it from the main portion of my website on January 10th, 2005. This is easily verifiable from archive.org copies of my website's changelog from 2005. Of particular note in this timeline is the original content and dedication of the WanderingPaths Reiki Annex. As well as the original content of the section on Imara Reiki, the original content of the section on Channeled Reiki Symbols, and the original content of the section of Reiki Links.
Three years pass. It is now 2008. I purchased a new domain, and moved from http://wanderingpaths.heliwood.org to http://dreamhart.org. It was announced in my livejournal on June 18th, 2008. At this time the old version of my website was moved to http://wanderingpaths.dreamhart.org The last update to that version of my website was made on June 21st, 2008 when I added a reiki symbol that I had channeled as part of a working on March 27th, 2007 and had never added to the Annex.
Another eight months pass. It is now February, 2009. I finally get off my ass and update the website, creating a new theme for it that had been in the works for a while and moving over to wordpress as a content management system rather than coding the site manually. The completed redesign of the site and the move of all old content onto the new version went live and was announced publicly on Thursday, February 19 2009 at 03:26 pm.
On Thursday, February 19th 2009 at 10:19 PM I receive an email asking me to remove the aforementioned clearly sensitive information.
On Thursday, February 19th 2009 at 11:54 PM I check my email and respond to the initial request to remove the information.
On Friday, February 20, 2009 at 12:07 AM I send a second email confirming that I have gone through both the new version of my site, and the still-extant archive of the old version of my site, and have removed the information requested.
Total time the information has been on my site: 4 years, 1 month, and 9 days.
Total time the information was on my site after the email was sent requesting its removal: 1 hour and 48 minutes.
Total time the information was on my site after I read the email requesting its removal: 13 minutes, which included hunting down all mention of it on the old version of the site and manually removing it from the html code.
So, given this time-line of events, can anyone tell me why it is that two days later, on Saturday February 21st I go to a party with friends and some of the comments I am receiving on the redesign of the website are not about any of the newly added content or the new look for the site, but are instead about the incredibly confidential information I "recently" added and how I shouldn't have gone and done that?
Like I said, it's certainly given me a good idea of who has never read my site before, but all in all it seems pretty damned silly to be stirring up drama over.

And that's why I don't offer comments on anyone's website unless there are problems with the site itself (as in unreadable colors or broken links). I don't want to make myself look like an idiot, especially when it has nothing to do with me.

We've been aware that legal names were on your old site, and are still on our site and on the internet worldwide. I'm not sure what people at the party were assuming (most people haven't gone through either site thoroughly), but the original objection was that the new site displayed the names much more prominently in a potentially more unfriendly environment, not that it was a breach of confidentiality.

If you want more details, email me personally. This is all I feel comfortable saying in public, and I have no wishes to interact with public communities at all any further or to be a representative of any group politically in the future or present.

The text is decidedly difficult for me to read unless I'm in a completely darkened room. Have you considered lightening it a bit, or am I the only one with this problem? Font sizes are rather small in places as well, but still readable as long as the text is highlighted so there's some color contrast.
Also, you might want to double-check your links. I found at least one going to http://dreamhart.org/?page_id=101#unacceptable which should have gone to

It was MY opinion that using someone's rl name if one didn't have permission (and I thought maybe you didn't initially due to my impression of things, which again, could have been wrong) was not cool. That was all. Period.
So, I am sorry if I inadvertently started up drama for EITHER of you. That was not my intention. And I am not going to mention either of you to the other in the future.
Again, my apologies if my opinion overstepped my bounds in anyway for either of you.
Caveat: Lyssa is writing this on little sleep. Lys was ALSO inebriated at said party around the time she made that comment and not really thinking beyond "What do I think of the site", which equaled "Pretty! Great job! But not cool on one thing."
I count you both as friends and I am staying out of this.
