Do your family and friends know about your blog(s)? I just recenlty begun to feel as though my hair care blog is ready for family and friends to criticize lol!
Do you keep your blogging a secret?
Who did you first tell?
If you're like me and kept it a secret for almost a year, what were your reasons?

YES!!!!
NO ONE!!
MY FAMILY WILL KILL ME!!-
I totally understand that LolitaV!
-
the psycho Muslims won't accept "disgrace" i say f*ck 'em!
-

No. I told everybody. Even the mice in the house know about it.-
what did the mice say?
-
i keep asking what NP is smoking....
-
do tell, becuase I would like to talk to mice too....
-
Mice don't talk, silly. But they're good listeners.

i started mine to update long-distance friends on my health, so my family found out about it quickly... however, i wish they didn't because now when they're stressing me out, i can't write about it without it hurting their feelings! especially my mom... i wrote an entry about how she drives me crazy sometimes, and i thought she was going to cry :-(-
Oh no! See I could never do that, I would have too many entries about my mom lol!
-
-
they all know but my sons don't read it and my other half doesn't either. they say it's bad enough having to live it with me, they don't want to have to read it too.-
Sometimes I wish my family would read it becuase I feel like they would respect me a little bit more. I stay at home with the kids so I kinda feel like it's my job lol!

Hubby knows but doesnt read it. My parents don't care but I have tons of friends that read it.-
Do your friends have blogs too?

@Lolita
Yes, I think NP is smoking some really good pot. I want some. Oh no wait, I have 'shrooms.-
Remember Salvador Dali: "I don't take drugs; I am drugs."
Ditto.

LOL. That's an awesome quote.
-
N.P.: as a spotofblog said: the Dali quote is glorious.
In fact, I'm overcome with an uncharacteristically larcenous desire (lucky the life of the mind admits of few property laws), but, er, N.P. how would you feel if I were to STEAL that line for my blog tagline.
I update it every now and again, and I'm getting a bit bored with the current one, soo...I just want to make sure that you don't want to use it for a similar purpose yourself lest we clash and have to fight an aphorism duel (which I would doubtless lose).
Oh, and on the secrets thing:
My blog's secrecy level combines the worst of all possible worlds. In other words, I've told SOME people, but not others thus putting myself in the completely stupid situation of having less friendly traffic, than I could, while at the same potentially offending all a whole bunch of people who I haven't told who will probably find out from the people that I have told. Shambles!
Best,

Do you keep your blogging a secret?
Nope, I didn't think anyone really read blogs, so didn't think of it as a secret thing.
Who did you first tell?
My college tutor, after being pressed to keep an up to date journal for counselling lesson purposes. So I fobbed her off saying that I was blogging all the time about college stuff. -
Yes and no. My dad reads one of my blogs, yet in spite of the giant link to the other one from it at the top of the page, he doesn't seem to realize I also have a humor blog.
I have had the humor blog for almost two years now.
I haven't bothered to mention it.
I kinda would like to see how long I can go before he realizes it. -
None of my friends and family know I blog, its something I do for fun, plus I dont think they would be interested. -
My immediate family knows about my music blog, as they sometimes help me choose the song of the day on weekends. But the rest of my family doesn't and none of my friends (IRL, that is) know about it because I feel like they'd feel obligated to check it out in case I ask them if they saw something rather than having them read it because they enjoy it.
Worse, I imagine one of them asking me to read theirs and having to tell white lies about a splog or just having to keep reading a crappy personal site to avoid hurting feelings. Blech. My on-line life is almost completely separate from my personal life.-
I confess to already doing the white lies about friends/family and their blogs.

It is very top secret. The first person I told was my sock... Mr. Toe Jam... I couldn't let anyone but him know my SECRET...-
lol. mr toe jam!!!!
-
Toe jam?????????
-
-
Well.. everyone knows about my blog, I just don't know if they READ it. -
My husband started reading my hair care blog because I posted a few pics of myself and I got some very flattering comments.... Go figure
-
Lovely girlfriend knows, obviously, because she writes for it. Mum/sister reads it too I think, the rest of my family aren't too bothered. And friends do NOT know. -
I don't think my family knows about some of my blogs and of my online activities. My mom would worry about me too much if she knew how often I interact online. -
Yes, I informed them right away to read my updates. Am not writing a personal diary instead I wrote about my favorite hobby which is watching TV series and movies. -
Thank goodness I write about music and light stuff....and not updating that other one which is really scandalous *breaths deeply* -
No secret here but only a few selected friends knows about it. -
My blogs not a secret but I really don't go out of my way to tell friends and family about it. If blogging should come up in a conversation though I would talk about mine. I don't think to many of my friends are really into the blogging thing though. -
No not really, but I must be a well kept secret since I get so few visitors! :-) -
As long as you put something on your blog to be share, it is not a secret anymore. -
When I started blogging I wasn't sure what will come out of it, so I told some of my friends. Later I realized that the blog was turning into something way more personal than I originally intended. Fortunately, almost all those people (but 2) whom I told about the blog, quit reading it or actually just gave it a try once.
Sometimes I wish it was a complete secret, as it would be easier for me to share what's deep inside without having anyone in particular reading it later in mind. But then, at times when I'm the only one looking at my posts, it's good to remember that at some point at least one of my friends will take a peek at my blog life. -
Oh yeah, everyone's been notified about it. Only 2 of them ever visit, though (one of them being my husband--who I probably told first.) -
Yes it is. I DARE you to try to find it. I DOUBLE DOG DARE all of you.-
Good hook! :-)

-
certain family members know about it - such as my two sisters and my sister-in-law. and some friends. beyond that, no. I have a "professional" /conservative career and don't feel my parents need to know exactly how slutty I am LMAO they can all deal with it when I publish my book. -
NO ONE except my sister knows about my blog.. which makes it hard to advertise because I'm friends with my family on Facebook -
nope. Though I am debating switching up the language just to annoy some of those who do know about it -
Is my blog a secret? To the vast majority of the over three hundred million Americans, and to the billions of people world wide, it is a big secret. -
Mine's as UN-secret as they come! Everyone in my family knows I can't be bothered with life in Canada anymore and my priority is travel and blogging.
I don't think my family reads mine but my friends sure do!
