Details
When you blog (or comment on other bloggers' sites) you're putting words and opinions online for anybody and everybody to read.
How much does that influence what you write and the identity you use when blogging? Have you attempted to created a "pen name" to prevent your real name from being linked to your blog?and has that worked? Has your blogging identity ever gotten you in personal (or professional) hot water?
This is some of what we'll be talking about in the first half of the March 19 Weblogger Meetup. (The second half of the meeting will, as usual, be general discussion on topics tangentially related to blogging and our blogs.) Please join us and share your experiences and opinions ? or bring questions for discussion.
