Two Blogging Identities

Well, I've changed my template from cotton-candy-almost-too-sweet-to-be-me to a clean, white slate. I also have another blog I'm writing for online, and I'm actually getting paid for that one. The conundrum I face is this: do I merge the two identities -- letting everyone know who I really am? The other blog has my face, my real name, but is purely professional without a smidge of personal detail.

I don't think I'm ready to take that plunge. Having anonymity is a good thing, and to this day I still regret telling a lot of people about this blog (people I know personally offline). I forget who they are sometimes, and I find myself mentally editing before I write to be sure not to offend. What fun is that if I can't be 100% honest?

hi there, i agree... being anonymous is kinda cool. in my case, i had to become one, coz i dont want people to come at me and announce to the crowd, "hey, look here. he is the one... the one who afraid to fly!!!"

i have other blogs, and there too i blog anonymously except for one, where i did put my face but not my real name
