Strip or edit METADATA from files you upload to the internet. You can do this with PhotoME, jHead, there are many other metadata manipulation tools out there.
Use TOR, over encrypted connections, such as SSL. For these reasons - http://forums.cnet.com/5208-4_102-0.html?threadID=263807

DO NOT use your PAID email account(like the one from your ISP). Use TOR to setup a free email account.
Limit your exposure -
Keep personal and private information, PRIVATE and secret.
If you only know, then it is truly a secret.
Do not post pictures, information about your precise location. Pictures of your house, back yard, etc.. Also do not post pictures of your hand writing.
Posting generalized information can and may be used to obtained your precise location. Depends on how much you disclose.
Altering your choice of words(slang included), sentence structure. Develop an alternate personality of sorts.
It's better to be OCD(obessive compulsive disorder) about this, than to be lackidaisical.
Not making yourself a valued target is another one. For example do not post pictures of your commercial scale grow op. Bragging about your exploits..
Your three main concerns / priorities should be PROPERLY using TOR and PROPERLY removing or editing metadata from files that could link directly to you.
Yes having your name, camera model, operating system, etc.. attached to files could later be used to provide a link between said file(s), hardware and yourself.
Third would be KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT, don't tell Joe Blow and Bambi about your grow operation, even friends, lovers, buddies, exes, etc.. run their mouth to all the wrong people.
I don't need or want any comments from the paranoid schizophrenic peanut gallery.
