…that is the question. I am not sure what to do. Part of me is really leaning towards moving over to word*press and having the option to password certain posts. But I am not sure. I know that I am not a rock star blogger, but I also know that I have put some very personal feelings on here. Feelings that are very raw and very honest and the thought of some RL people reading them makes me want to climb into a hole. I have prided myself on letting go and being me on here and I want to maintain that. However I am feeling a bit…vulnerable. I don’t know what to do. Maybe this feeling will pass??? =/ Any advice?
try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-7035349-1");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
} catch(err) {}
That's so hard. I limited IRL people for that reason. I mean, I now know a lot of the people that read IRL, but it's BECAUSE of the blog - I met them as a result of it. I'm actually an open book IRL, but with adoption things especially (and race issues), I just know that it's a different level of understanding with blog friends. I would say go for WP, PW protect what makes you feel really vulnerable, then give me the PW. :) Ha ha ha, I'm kidding. But, if you do that, you can always take the PW off. I think it's easier to do go that way than to try to unring a bell, so to speak, if you publish something you later wish you hadn't. And, who knows? Maybe you won't feel the need to PW anything, but at least you'll know you have the option. (So not trying to sell you on WP, 'cause it annoys me sometimes, but the individual PW'ing thing is nice).
ReplyDeleteYeah, what Laura said! I do like having the option to PW protect, even if I don't use it much. And I like WP over just going private on the blog, since I stalk, er, follow blogs via google reader and with wp protected posts they still come up vs having to remember to check blogger and find out I missed something. WP, I think, is less user-friendly than blogger, but I'm still glad I made the change. Totally get what you're saying though, really.
