I have often thought the same thing! I’m also in the same boat as my wife is blogging impaired.

I love your idea of the post dated “I’m dead” post. You’re a genius, man!

Unfortunately this plan wouldn’t work for me in blogger. Another reason to stop using that darn thing.

Every now and then, I write down all of my login information for everything under the sun in my journal, and Fiance knows if anything ever happens to me he can check in there. Some of it, like the blog, I’m not as worried about. And then there is some of it like subscriptions, bank account info, passwords on documents on my computer (like letters that I write and keep to my family JUST IN CASE because my parents always did that for us and I think it’s important that they know JUST HOW MUCH they have meant to me, etc) that are more important. The passwords are mostly the same, but I still write it all down periodically so that Fiance can access it if anything were to happen to me.

I have an easy solution to your problem: just stay alive =)

I was thinking about the same thing a while back. NO one would know what the heck happened. Lately I have been taking miny hiatuses from blogging due to the issues with my son or a crazy work schedule or just being lazy, and I wondered if people thought I had just dropped off the face of the earth. And how would they know, right? My husband doesn’t know the access to my blog. So I guess you know what happened to me, if one day I just seem to disappear. Hopefully that’s long time away….

OMG…I knew a girl named Kim Dick. (& you and I are the same age…sorta) Actually her name in high school was Kim Cox she married a Dick and became Kim Cox Dick. They couldn’t take the comments anymore, so they had it legally changed to Dixson.

We just did our will. Perhaps adding in a letter with instructions would be a way to go.

Give it a few more years and LA toddler will have it all figured out. She will also know how to get on and off your computer without you ever knowing she was there. If I weren’t such a fabulous PI parent my kids would still be trying to do that stuff. They went through the stage of clearing history, deleting temp internet files. cookies. I could still trace it though. So no worries. leave the info for your daughter and she can continue the LA Family cyber life.

I wonder about this as well. Mr. Half doesn’t have the first clue about how to post my death. What I think I’ll have to do is host a blogger workshop for my family…or just hand my password over to another Typepad blogger whom I trust. When I kick, Mr. Half can give them a call with the “thumbs up”…er…”thumbs down”. Depending upon how you look at it.

With you on that one, Dan. Though I do have a recurring fantasy about coming back to my own funeral service (the body never having been found) and watching from the organ loft.

I occasionally think about writing a letter to my kids for if I die unexpectedly, but every time i start contemplating it i get too upset. its weird but dying doesn’t scare me half as much as leaving my children without a dad does. that’s becoming a father for you.
