The whole question of blogs and censoring yourself actually came up... I forget where. Either on my friend's blog or on our Housewife Writer's forum. I do think it was the later. I also think it's a common concern - do you just reveal everything on your blog and the hell with what anyone thinks or do you watch what you say because you don't want to hurt people?

My personal opinion is that if you want to write without worrying about who will see what you wrote, then you do a private blog. Or... (thinking as I type) you can make certain blog posts private within your regular blog. That would probably be easier than having more than one. I'll have to look into that but I'm fairly certain you can create private posts and allow only certain people to see it.

A lot also depends on the purpose of the blog. My blog (the real one, not this one) is meant as a means to get me writing every day but not just any writing. Humor writing. That does make it difficult when I'm not feeling particularly witty or if I'm in a bad mood but, for the most part, my blog has served that purpose big time. It does, however, mean I try to steer away from serious topics.

Anyhow, I'm off to experiment on that private post thing...
