Bloggers who bare all online
This is a great article on the value of privacy for bloggers.
I blog about parts of my life, and some stuff I do not wish to make public for obvious reasons. Some of my readers feel that I am not an open book, and I like it that way.
I think that you put yourself in a vulnerable position, making your whole life public, as mentioned in the article. The internet can be a dangerous place.

One reason I don't have a blogsite (apart from the fact no one would read it LOL) is that I would probably be too open.
I wouldn't want that. I value my privacy and would worry about having the right balance between an open chatty blog and not giving too much away. As a result, I tend to use other people's blogs and forums as a kind of "proxy blog". That way I can dip in and out without feeling responsible for a "site".
I can empathise with that vulnerable feeling too Nia. I feel that even with the more distant way I communcate via the internet. It doesn't seem to take much to get snotty responses does it; aside from the wierder characters out there.
I suppose you could describe me as a "parasitic blogger"
My blog is your blog, Jo's a couple of others and the Forums I post on LOL
So keep blogging please Nia.

GOM,
Thank you for your comments.
I think you would have readers if you started blogging.
I love your way of using other blogs, as proxy blogs,lol.
I do not consider you a parasitic blogger,lol.
I do not blog as much as I used to, but will let you know when I decide to stop.

The blog is my way of letting off steam, and yes perhaps sometimes I am a little too open, but that is me.
We all have our own "comfort zones" and find safety within certain limits.
Obviously I would not ever mention real names ( my own being Gladys paddlebottom) or addresses, but banter about my life is why I blog in the first place.

Jo,
Thank you for your comments. I agree, it is finding our own comfort zones. However, I think some people are not aware of how open they leave themselves, until it is too late.

DD,
Thank you for stopping by. I think you are a lot safer with a password protected blog, if you write about your personal life.
