My nickname that I blog under is a nickname that I use for other stuff too....got really scared about it....haven't gone as far as deleting stuff though. Glad that KD is not your real name as would be a bit reckless to use it.<br> Also made me start to think about the stuff I put down, should I be more cagey? and I think it has made me a bit more secretive - I find myself not putting down what I think about some things in case people read it...not good really, not at all.tag:lovelife2.blog.co.uk,2005-11-21:/2005/11/20/silly_thing~323727/#c345177SnapHappy2005-11-21T18:23:34+01:002005-11-21T18:23:34+01:00i know it isn't all that safe - but there is a feeling about having a blog anonymously that has been so freeing - i never really thought about whether it made me vulnerable. at the end of the day yesterday i realised that the things i deleted were just my story - i am who i am. i deleted them to make me feel more comfortable but i'm going to keep writing for nowtag:lovelife2.blog.co.uk,2005-11-21:/2005/11/20/silly_thing~323727/#c345170SnapHappy2005-11-21T18:22:01+01:002005-11-21T18:22:01+01:00thanks for the good advice! kate davenport isn't my actual nametag:lovelife2.blog.co.uk,2005-11-21:/2005/11/20/silly_thing~323727/#c3438212005-11-21T09:03:41+01:002005-11-21T09:03:41+01:00This is quite true DD.<br> The Internet is not a very private place at all Snaphappy, so if you you didn't want those posts to be avaialable then you probably made the right decision in deleting them.<br> <br> Rtag:lovelife2.blog.co.uk,2005-11-21:/2005/11/20/silly_thing~323727/#c343791SensualReading2005-11-21T08:39:02+01:002005-11-21T08:39:02+01:00If you type your name into google it will show up on the listings and people can then look at what you have written and where....so its not private...hence people that do not want to be traced that way usually use their nickname in their profile rather than their actual name .....DDtag:lovelife2.blog.co.uk,2005-11-20:/2005/11/20/silly_thing~323727/#c342942SnapHappy2005-11-20T20:38:04+01:002005-11-20T20:38:04+01:00that's true actually - also i am growing into my blog - its been amazing to have this private place to communicate with and to read others pouring out, too - tag:lovelife2.blog.co.uk,2005-11-20:/2005/11/20/silly_thing~323727/#c342939SnapHappy2005-11-20T20:37:05+01:002005-11-20T20:37:05+01:00turned out that i just deleted past posts that i felt were really very private - and will keep the rest for now. will still blog in same way - but didn't need past experience with ex sitting there anyway - time to move on!tag:lovelife2.blog.co.uk,2005-11-20:/2005/11/20/silly_thing~323727/#c342863pwned2005-11-20T20:08:24+01:002005-11-20T20:08:24+01:00Unusual?
