Yahoo's photo-sharing site is carefully policed by Heather Champ, the site's longtime community manager, Chris Colin

uncomfortable
San Francisco A-List bloggers Derek Powazek, the man who designed Blogger's logo, and Heather Champ, a community manager at Flickr,
air out a domestic dispute in the
Wall Street Journal:
For Derek Powazek, 34, there are limits to what he'll share with his wife, Heather. The San Francisco couple has separate blogs; his focuses on digital media, hers on photography. Mr. Powazek says he sometimes sees her quoting his best jokes on her blog, and he tells her not to steal his material (she credits him after the fact). As for sharing one blog, the idea "never came up," he says. "It would be like saying, 'Let's share our underwear.'"
Ewww. That's another thing you shouldn't share, Derek.

Last week, the
birth of a son (and future blogger) to Jason Kottke and Meg Hourihan reminded us of another famous Web personality who
triedhad a colleague try, bizarrely, to claim that the mom-to-be's pregnancy was "off the record." (Memo to other would-be secret-keepers: "Off the record" is always a matter of mutual agreement between reporter and source, not something you can declare unilaterally.) We asked for guesses on who it was, and you had lots of good ones. Now it's time to vote, picking out the baby-hiders from among these glamorous A-list bloggers. Pictures of the people you've speculated about, and a poll, after the jump.
