I wanted to talk about this topic “Are blogs too per­sonal?†for the last cou­ple of weeks and even more so after one of my clos­est friends closed down her blog due to the off-line world find­ing it. After going through my blog roll recently more and more blogs are becom­ing blogs writ­ten about a cer­tain topic, for exam­ple, mine nor­mally is being fru­gal and green which I think is a great idea and I love to see dif­fer­ent views but then again I like to see some per­sonal con­tent as well, what’s hap­pen­ing in their lives.

I started think­ing whether or not my blog is too per­sonal and I dis­cussed with my hus­band and my best friend yes­ter­day, I don’t really write like I use to about the going ons in my life well not the really per­sonal ones because unless it is out in the open then why put it on the inter­net where any­one can see it at the end of the day I know my blog is on the inter­net so it is pretty much pub­lic and yes I do go by a nick­name (same one for the last 10 years) but I now have twit­ter and a lot of my off-line friends have twit­ter now so they have access to my blog, plus if you know my nick­name you could pretty much just find me straight away.

I realised also I don’t think I have ever refer to my hus­band by his name in the whole three years of being with him which is pretty impres­sive as I for­get quite a bit that I haven’t unless I have added you to face­book then you know my own name and his name, he has read my blog now and then but isn’t really that inter­ested in it unless I am talk­ing about the money I have made from it   My par­ents know of my blog, I don’t think they really read it.

I really respect the ladies like Jenn and Amanda who don’t hide any­thing and for that rea­son read­ing their blogs makes me feel like I know them better.

Any­way I am ram­bling and I have to eat before my dri­ving les­son, I am curi­ous where do you draw the line on your own blogs?
