Comments on: Quasi-anonymous blogging. http://www.punchdebtintheface.com/2009/12/quasianonymous-blogging.html A fun personal finance blog Sat, 11 Feb 2012 01:47:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Steph http://www.punchdebtintheface.com/2009/12/quasianonymous-blogging.html#comment-2642 Steph Tue, 29 Dec 2009 04:21:00 +0000 http://www.punchdebtintheface.com/?p=622#comment-2642 I'm pseudo anonymous. People know my name is Steph, and what I look like (in at least one or two pictures). I've given other facts about myself. But I'm uncomfortable with random readers knowing who I actually am. Still, I don't mind if my friends check my blog; if they know about my finances, and talk to me about my blog, I welcome it. I like when my friends want to know more about how to improve their finances! So, I'll funnel friends towards my blog, but I'm not guiding readers towards my LinkedIn profile or my home address....

But, honestly I can say I LOVE your blog, at midnight last night I was dying laughing about finances...who would have thought?! And yes I know what you mean when you say that it's so much easier to tell your friends when your in debt rather than in the plus...why is that? But, it's something to be proud of...something you should feel good about. Yes, if you were going around bragging about how much you make and how much you're worth, I would say otherwise, but it helps your blog and there is nothing to be ashamed about. :) After reading this, I totally identified with how you probably feel talking about your blog in front of all your friends.

Not even hubby knows. He knows all about the stuff I write about because there are no secrets in debt-land, but he doesn't know I blog. He's not really into that sort of thing, though. If he knew, I'm pretty certain he wouldn't even check it out. That's ok though. But I'm of the same thought that anything I write would not be embarrassing or hurtful if I was revealed to my 'real life' acquaintances and friends and family. I am who I am. But they don't need to know I blog. Plus, like you said, it is kind of considered 'dorky'. ;) I'm totally 100% anonymous. Not even hubby knows.

I do write about some rather personal things on my blog. In fact my ex knows i have a blog which in my mind means now i have to censor what i say... cause i dont want him to know anything about my life... he is a creepy stalkerish guy like that. I think the only other person besides him who knows i blog is my mom... but she is not tech savy and even entering a web adress in is beyond her. I am sure one day i will inform my friends that i have a blog, but not untill i actually want to write about them i presume. My friends... even the random aquantances, are not nice enough to lie and say my blog is awsome. They will tell me it is lame and that i am wasting my time. I only think my english teacher would encourage my blog... but he would have a caniption due to my grammar. I like having people i dont know read my blog, and people that are genuinely intrested in saving money and the whole personal finance thing. Better that than having millions of comments from my mom saying "i love your blogging hun! what do you want for dinner?"

Non-hilarity ensued. They may have found it – my coworkers did for my first blog once they knew I had one. Non-hilarity ensued.
