Comments on: Wedding Pretend & The Location Debate http://www.kylaroma.com/2010/06/wedding-pretend-location-debate/ Daydreams from a Handmade Prairie Life Wed, 08 Feb 2012 04:05:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Karen http://www.kylaroma.com/2010/06/wedding-pretend-location-debate/#comment-16523 Karen Thu, 29 Jul 2010 23:34:42 +0000 http://www.kylaroma.com/?p=4211#comment-16523 The pictures are beautiful. While the town I live in isn't quite as closely knit as Winnipeg seems to be, I am always torn between wanting to blog as personally as possible and making personal connections and trying to protect myself and keeping my blog away from professional life (well, that not so much until now as I just graduated). So 8 months ago, I started fresh with my blog, found a new blog name, now use my middle name, lost a few readers along the way, but I think I have found a way to blog without the blog appearing in search engines in a way that makes it identifiable to people I know (though if they happen to stumble across it they will probably know right away it is me). The pictures are beautiful.

I have a FB fan page for the blog instead. Of course, the blog is still out there for people to stumble across. It used to really freak me out thinking about the possibility of someone I know finding it. I still don't publicize the blog however, I'm less freaked out by the possibility of someone finding it. The stories on the blog, are all my own experiences & I write from the heart...so the worst that's going to happen is that they are going to get to know me for who I am. However, who knows...I might change my opinion about this in the future ;) I think your blog is lovely & you should be very proud of it. I say, show it off & let people get inspired by it :) I’ve definitely thought about similar things in regards to my own blog: how specific I want to get about where I am located (Toronto), who I want to share the link with, whether or not I want to use personal photos etc. I tend to keep my blog off of my facebook mostly because I sometimes talk about sex or other “racy topics” that I wouldn’t want some people neccessarily reading all the time.

Even from working at a theatre school, privacy when working with kids is really important and very serious business. You handle it beautifully :) I think that using restraint when talking about your profession is a huge must- I love blogging but talking about work is one of those things that I just kind of don’t do.

No I know what you mean, that loss of control is the worst! That's why I think I like just handing it out a little better, at least people won't feel like they've found some secret stash of my deepest thoughts :) Ah!

I'm not sure, maybe terribly self absorbed? lol That's always my worry! I've started doing so much that revolves around my online life, from photography to blog design and working on my etsy store (the last two are soon to be launched) that I can't avoid the topic with friends and family any more lol I think it’s hard to feel like people who you love might see this space online, not understand the context & community it exists in and just feel like you’re… I’m not sure, maybe terribly self absorbed? lol That’s always my worry!
