There are definitely times when I wish I could just say "Go read my blog" to people who demand to know when we are having kids, but I can't. Very few followers, however, a fantastic outlet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blogging-anonymously#post-26175 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 14:40:08 +0000 meaganceleste 26175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I blog anonymously too! I haven't told anyone I know IRL about my blog, but its a great outlet for me to get everything off my chest since we aren't sharing that we're TTC. BUT, I can share here and I love that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blogging-anonymously#post-25991 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 10:35:11 +0000 MaisyMay 25991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My blog is pretty anonymous. I've given the address to only 2 people IRL and it doesn't have any contact info or personal info. I do have about 8 wedding photos on there, and one time I linked it to my facebook. It is linked through here though. I don't use names but am pretty generous with info about our personal lives, like TTC and stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blogging-anonymously#post-25980 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 10:26:44 +0000 ALittleP 25980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in the exact same boat as you, Mrs. Green Grass! :)</p> <p>My husband is very private and I'm more happy to share my experiences. So my TTC with unexplained infertility blog is anonymous. I found that after my miscarriage almost a year ago and our struggle to get pregnant I needed a writing outlet for myself.</p> <p>I had a very public blog with a pretty good following though not commenters - and I couldn't share there. So, I started to blog anonymously and I actually get more hits on that blog now than my public blog. It could be that I'm more open on my anonymous blog - pouring out my true, raw emotions - than on my public blog so it's more heartfelt and relatable...who knows.</p> <p>Now that I'm pregnant (fingers crossed that it sticks), I'm considering making my anonymous blog public when I'm ready to talk about my PG and shutting down my other one...</p> <p>Good luck with blogging!! I hope you get as much out of it as I do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blogging-anonymously#post-25948 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 09:37:37 +0000 Rubies 25948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried really hard to stay anonymous but I found that without sharing SOME details, it's really hard to blog. So I don't use my, the hubs' or my LO's name on my blog and created an entirely different email address to attach it to but because I have photos on it, it's not completely anonymous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blogging-anonymously#post-25946 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 09:32:55 +0000 Mrsbells 25946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an "anonymous" blog, but not about my personal life but about wedding related stuff. I was thinking about applying to be a blogger here but I'm such a private person and so is my husband, so it would never work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blogging-anonymously#post-25943 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 09:30:28 +0000 mediagirl 25943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you can share it with those people online who know you as just your online persona. I know the feeling about being an over-sharer and having a VERY private husband. I have to keep his name anonymous (thus where Hops came from) and I ask his permission before I post anything about him. I wrote about his medical issues recently and definitely made sure he was OK with me writing that before I posted it. I learned it is all about making sure he is comfortable with what I'm saying before I say anything. </p> <p>Same goes for Facebook - he has a page b/c I started it but doesn't want anyone to be able to find him or link him to photos. I'm learning that that's just him and how to deal with it when I want to share stuff.</p> <p>ETA: I don't share my blog with IRL friends and family. They have to hunt it down to find it (it is hooked to my Google account. I'm considering creating another blog once I have the baby to keep family and friends up to date with baby going-ons and then they don't have to read other stuff they don't care about. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blogging-anonymously#post-25791 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 22:50:54 +0000 Mrs. Bee 25791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>so often i wish i could blog anonymously! i can't share anything on my blog because so many people read it. the downside of an anonymous blog is that you have much less readers though so i guess you can't have it both ways. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blogging-anonymously#post-25776 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 22:12:28 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 25776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone else have a virtually anonymous blog? Mine is connected to my user name here and on weddingbee, Mrs Green Grass, but I have been extremely careful not to tie anything to me in real life. I do this because DH is a very private person (I'm an over-sharer : )).</p> <p>What's weird is that I can't share it with anybody I know. I can't be like, hey I just learned how to create rounded borders in html! I love my online community, but it's different than IRL friends and family.</p> <p>How do you other anonymous bloggers deal? </p>
