I'm speaking to my few readers, those with a blog (and the others). Do people in your real life know about your blog? Would you like friends/coworkers/family members/acquaintance to visit your blog and read what you have to say?
For those of us that blog anonymously, without our name or location or a picture or details that would make us easy to trace back in real life. Do you worry that you could be traced back to your real life? Why do you blog anonymously? How would you react if you were "found"???
And for those who post with their name/location/picture, why did you chose that?
I don't use my name (too many freaks) or my precise location, nor do I post information that would make me or my workplace easy to find. I don't blog about anything that I would be in trouble if people IRL knew about. I wouldn't post anything that I wouldn't want to deal with in my every day life. Sure, I prefer to remain a faceless person on the Internet BUT if my coworker read my blog, they wouldn't be shocked or I wouldn't be in trouble. Same for my friends and anyone. Still, I prefer to keep my private information, private.
Make sense? Tell me about your privacy choices.
