Shhh don't tell anyone
Reading Aisa0's post this morning I have been thinking about how I have changed my posts (hopefully completely).
Just in case you didn't follow the link and read it ... he basically asked why people make posts friends-only.
Here is my response
My current blog is open to all. My livejournal on the other hand was not. There are a few reasons.1) This was the biggest. I didn't use it as a blog. I used it as a way to communicated directly to a small group of people who used lj.
2) If I mentioned personal things that I would not normally give out to everyone.
3) If I talked specifically about thing that involved other people and I mentioned them. This is mostly for events that I was unsure they would want to share with the world but would be fine for our little group.
4) Occasionally I would talk about my health or work (no detail).
Basically, the first point is the real answer. About a handful of the posts really needed to be. None of those needed to be written though.
After writing the comment though, I thought for a minute about why I have made the change. Without hesitation I have to say it is completely because of Dan and his blog. Those are two separate points. I wont really go into detail about my personal motivations, but I will say that his blog was the first that I really considered worth reading.
So with this in mind I consider myself a new blogger. In time I am sure it will come more naturally. At this point I am just glad that I am beginning to create something that I feel happy about sharing.
