And I think that beginning has helped shape my blogging ever since.<br /><br />I've only recently told my family & friends about my blog (even though I started it in 2008 !!). It's not important to me if they read it or not. And if I think I'm going to blog about something I wouldn't tell them anyway, well, do I really want to blog about it, for the world to see?Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10148297814666688033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329513822232771648.post-37254312762245366322011-03-14T07:04:01.484-04:002011-03-14T07:04:01.484-04:00most people don't know about my blog either. i...most people don't know about my blog either. i feel weird sharing it!Jenni Austria Germanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04300480531614136453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329513822232771648.post-79703242958728225732011-03-14T02:12:00.021-04:002011-03-14T02:12:00.021-04:00I was nervous about my post content at first too. ...I was nervous about my post content at first too.

I didn't tell anyone I was blogging for a little while either. I was just kind of blogging to myself at first.

Because I haven't kept this blog a secret and pretty much everyone in my life reads it, I do have to be careful! But I like what you said... and I often do the same thing - I will write a post and just save it instead of posting it. I will go do something else for a while and come back to it, edit it as I see fit and then post it. But usually, I feel good about being honest. The thing that scares me most about the blogging world is the creepers - and I don't know that there are even any creepers out there who care about me ;)TracyZLesh @ Then I Got To Thinkinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05351994552411264388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329513822232771648.post-84018410211946405622011-03-12T17:09:03.146-05:002011-03-12T17:09:03.146-05:00Glad to have found your blog and great advice!

I agree, it's just plain rude when people leave comments on posts.<br /><br />I actually don't think that many of my old friends from where I grew up read my blog, and that's okay. I have 'met' so many kind and genuine people through blogging that it's totally worth it to put yourself out there once in a while.
