And it's probably not you.
I'm pretty sure someone I know, like in real life, like before I started I blogging, like know, has found me, and has read jodifur. It's not worth explaining but I was looking through my stats and there is one that just has to mean this.
But I'm too chicken to email or call and say, "I think you found my blog." Because, what if they didn't and are like, "um no, you have a blog?"
So, if you are there, and reading this, email me, call me, leave me a comment. Let me know. Or maybe not.
More and more I'm thinking I need to come out of the blog closet. Someone is going to find me, come on, I'm hiding in plain sight, on the internet. And I write for 4 blogs.
For those of you that have done this, tell me how. I don't want to make a formal announcement, like, hey, I have a blog, but I'm also not so sure I want to hide it anymore either. Because really, I'm not hiding. And there is a possibility my writing is going to be more places.
If it hasn't happened yet, it's bound to happen soon. So please, prepare me.
Calling Someone Out

I sent the link out to about 15 friends and family when I first started. I also mention it casually around other friends and family. Most people say, “Oh, you blog?” without ever asking for the URL.

Oh do what I do – just blurt it out, act all cool with an “everybody does it” attitude, and walk away.
Then watch the stats. I nearly fell over after a mom’s wine night in which my blog was outed how many of them clearly went to my blog. Now folks see me in the coffee shop and act all nervous. As if I’m a celebrity.
It is a glorious part of you and what you do. Embrace it and celebrate it.

It’s the perfect time to save to your private files anything you wouldn’t want family and real life friends to read, and then send out an announcement. I think most people will be impressed and love it as a way to keep up with you. It might be a good offensive move to come out rather than be outed.
??? But WTF do I known, I’m new! ???

I told a lot of people when I first started and hardly anyone reads it! Some people are blog-readers and some just aren’t. At least that’s what I tell myself.
I’m interested in the comments though because I haven’t told my family yet, nor have I linked up my pseudonymous blog with my real-name blog.

I’m still in denial that anyone I know IRL will ever find my blog (heh, serious denial I know) so I can’t help much.
I have told a couple more people that I’m friends with in real life about the blog. At the beginning I told no one. Perhaps that’s progress?

I tell a lot of people about my blog (so much that they’re probably thinking “Shut up about the damn blog already!”) but very few people I know read it. It’s kind of a little funny feeling though when someone that you didn’t tell about your blog starts to read it. That happened with a cousin of mine and I had said some not totally nice stuff about her. Whoops!

It’s such a fine line. Most of my co-workers (the people I don’t want to know) aren’t all that sure about blogs. Except my boss. Her friend has one and mentions it quite often. Sometimes I just want to to tell her just to get that monkey off my back, but I don’t want those people to be part of my life outside work, to get to know the real me and see how much I swear and talk about Bacon.
Good luck!
