I was thinking about this recently while looking at my site meter thing... why do I care if people know who I am? Besides for the whole "there are evil people on the internet" thing, why care? And anyway, it's not like if I tell people my 1st name and where I'm from they'll be able to come stalk me based on what I write. I'm generally a very open person (I'm working on that though because sometimes it's not really a good thing) so it's hard for me to keep my identity such a secret!
Since there are a few people who read this blog who know who I am, I've never written anything too private, so I'm not embarrassed about anything I wrote.
If I had a blog where no one knew who I was, then maybe I'd write private things.
Maybe it's bad for shidduchim? I don't know... I don't think it's "weird" to have a blog, and like I said before- there's not much personal stuff on here.
The only thing I'd have to change is any posts with stories about people in it because if they find this then they'll know I'm talking about them!
On my site meter, there are people from all over reading my blog... it's so weird to think that there's someone in Virginia reading this. I don't think I even know anyone in Virginia! So maybe I'm just really nosy (well not maybe- I know I am lol) and want to know who YOU are, so I'm willing to reveal who I am in hopes to get something in return???
It's like an unofficial rule with blogging that your identity has to stay a secret.

Is it? :)
theres always a few ppl who dont play by the rules
;-P
From the guy's perspective there's always interest in who this girl really is for as long as she's not married.
Bad for shidduchim? depends on who you ask. Some say internet is evil, some say there's nothing about. Others would wonder how get your shadchan's phone number...
"It's like an unofficial rule with blogging that your identity has to stay a secret." - so far the only blog that I kept writing to for longer than two weeks is blog under these rules...
I guess it might come with it, but if you have facebook then whats the point. Not toalkng about private facebook account.
I hope no one ever finds out who I am. I'm writing a lot of stuff that I wanted to get off my chest for a long time but it's mostly loshon hara if you know who I am because then you could figure out who all the other people are.
But no, I'm not from Virginia!
allo there - just discovered your blog - this is the first post I have read so know nothing about you but hey just to tell you...you have a reader from ... England UK!!
lol seee thanks for telling me where ur from! :-)
I'm with you.
In fact, I find that keeping my blog not so anonymous keeps ME behaving (well at least behaving as much as I usually do...)
I'm also fascinated as to the places people come from to read my blog...
depends WHAT you write, i guess. but if you're writing neutral stuff, thats not gonna harm yourself, or anyone else, theres no reason to keep your identity a secret. by not telling the world who u are, you're saying you have something to hide. well, do u? i know i don't. yes, internet is a scary place, and there are psychos out there, but if they want to get to u, they'll do it even if u hide your identity, no worries. as to shidduchim, i think it only enhances your personality, knowing u write a blog. again, depending on what you write. check out my blog
from-the-holy-land.blogspot.com
i am sure when people write their blogs they suppose to be readed.no one would write for himself (as well as all writers or poets-they just pretend like they are not interested in pulic opinion). i read you. i am from israel, herzliya. i doubt you know anyone persanally from this place)
Where are you? Lol. I was looking at my followers and saw that you're still there but not writing anymore :-/ What happened? :P
