anonymity

Now that’s I’ve surpassed the initial stages of “to blog or not to blog” I often wonder two things about my blog. (I’ve got over 1000 hits, all of them can’t be mine!)

  1. Should I go public? Should I ever let people who I know in on my blog? Should I include the link on my e-mail signature? It’s not that I hide the blog from anyone it’s just that I don’t publicize it too much. (YS Forums is the only place I’ve ever linked to.)
  2. Should I rename the blog something less conspicuous? Right now the URL is just my name. I’m not 100% sure that I’m cool with being that up front. When all is well it’s no big deal but I often wonder if there is some way someone will come back to use my words against me.

All for this starts with the YS boards. I do enjoy the anonymity of going by drew. It provides a certain amount of security that I think I like.

    I have two blogs, one public (that I share with the yg kids), and one not-so-public (that I share with YS folks). I suppose it wouldn’t be hard to track either down. Yes, there is some way someone could use your words against you. I think of that a lot when I blog. Anyone can figure out who I am…
