[...] Are You Who You Blog You Are? “I believe protecting our privacy is critically important, especially as the personal identity and information protection is barely in its infancy. It’s up to us to choose what information we hand out, to whom, and when. Still, it is important that your About page should give us a glimpse behind the mask, whether or not you share your real name and any personal information.” Rely on Lorelle to bring up the perhaps most important point of all. This is exactly what I am struggling with at the moment. How much to say and how to say what I chose to say so that it is informative and helps people evaluate everything else I write. Most of my writing requires no knowledge of who wrote it, but some things are surely more easily accepted when you know the background of the writer. A must read before you even consider writing a single word on who you are where everyone can read it! [...]

I blog under an alias but shared 100 things about me on my About page and a bit about what my blog’s about on my home page. I still get comments About my About Me. But I’ve made on-line friends with some fellow bloggers and when we interact off-blog we email each other and use our real names.

I blog under an alias. So far it hasn't hurt me. The one thing I would have done differently is started blogging under an alias that sounds like a real name from day one.

I don’t really care if the blogger uses pen name and/or not including a pic of him/herself, as long he or she honors what s/he blogs about on any given topic.

However though, I do care very much about the “about page” even for fake name bloggers. At the very least, let us know his or her field of expertise so that we can decide or not to take his/her advice with a pinch of salt.

And when the time comes to be famous, it would be great for the blogger to reveal his or her face. So we can put that fake name to the face.
