This is an awesome post--yo...Marinka, you da bomb. <br />This is an awesome post--you have expertly mixed ACTUAL KNOWLEDGE with humor, so that I don't feel asleep. Which I otherwise do at any momen........<br />Oh right, and yes, huh. Interesting that most well-known bloggers are not anon. Agree with PP that I just don't want to be googleable. Took Heather (Dooce)'s advice on that one. But as I get further and further into it, and publish more stuff IRL, I think it is inevitable that I will "come out." Anyway, you are awesome.

She asked for tips and all I could tell her is make sure you don't tell anyone you know and pick a random user name so you can talk shit about anyone and everyone and they can't tell it's you.

I've noticed that I'm turning up quicker now though so maybe having a generic name isn't so foolproof. <br /><br />I don't use hubs name cause he's got a Big Important Client Base that he would not like reading about his personal life. The kids have nicknames. Two of the three have very distinctive first names so I just went with the cutsie names. <br /><br />I have some family and IRL friends who read. Hubs reads but I swear it's only to keep tabs on me. I wrote about him on his birthday a couple weeks ago and if you would read that post, and then have me tell you that he never said one word to me about it, stunning. That's it. It's stunning.

I even did the "avoid telling people..." part too, until I felt comfortable. Then I shared it with one friend....then two....and they both read consistently. I love it! You're right, too, it's a heady experience having someone read my thoughts, as amateurish as they are. I blog anonymously....sort of. I just think my given name is too common, so I use my blogger name. I get addressed as Tooj now, all through the blogging land. Oh wait, just on my blog. With my huge readership of 44 followers. I have a few silent readers though....they're family.
