Making personality of our blog is one of the most profound difficulties! I have repeatedly expressed the force into the blog, it does not have a balance.

There are often things we’d like to write about, but understand that everything we publish can come back to bite us.

Exactly. Like when your pen name is uncovered and revealed to be you. Have to be careful what you say in this day and age. Free speech is long gone.

hm, contemplating Stuarts comment I may have to worry since my alter ego sometimes responds to blog posts I wrote using the commentary function – but recently I got him to stop doing that :-)

Writing different posts using different personas is perfectly normal. If they start commenting on each other’s posts is it’s time to worry.

Actually I do so for my clients who don’t have time to run their blogs. It’s not easy to have never been in a location and write about how it feels let alone getting into a different personality.

I totally agree with you that each character should have its own name and take responsibility for what he/she says, BUT when you do this for your clients, you have to be very careful to keep the tone of your content pleasant as it represents them. They TRUST you to write instead of them.

Because my blog is me out there in public, I hit the wall when sensitive, personal things starting happening to me and my family. I chose not to write about these topics, as not to upset my family, but I realize that writing about “safer topics” feels dishonest and unsatisfying. As a result, I have stopped writing completely.

In the past, I have blogged anonymously on various sensitive topics. The downside to that was I didn’t feel like I made any real connection with readers. It was more of a stage show than dialogue.

As I like to write clear-cut stuff in my blog, I´m using a nickname right away. Not because I couldn´t stand up for what I write in person, but because I don´t want to be confronted with it in inappropriate situations: As a teacher I´m aware that colleagues, parents or pupils might (and will) google my name on the Internet. I want the conversation to take place where I initiated it, not somewhere else. But I would not be surprised either: Since my first criterion for blogging is authenticity, I would not post stuff that I could not stand up for in a discussion.

I haven’t really thought about having multiple personalities when blogging.

Do you mean nickname when your are saying as someone else? If yes, then my answer is yes :)

Keep up blogging :)
