I think I'd like to start an online journal but keep it totally private. Not sure if that is possible or not. I was thinking of online cuz it's easier and faster than writing. Also easier to fix typos. I thought maybe typing out my feelings every day and keeping them might help me somehow, not sure how, but something I'm contemplating.

Any advice, thoughts, etc?

I just started recently. The last time I dropped off a note for my T, I printed out a copy of the blog and gave him that. It was so much easier to do it that way. Actually, I'm a couple days behind in writing something to it. Do you blog? I do recommend it doing it for all the reasons!

I blog about work. Do you blog? I've found some very entertaining ones to share stories with. I used to blog about hubby and regular life...but its not interesting enough. Work is much more interesting.

See, that's the problem I've had before. I start and then I start falling behind and before I know it, I'm not doing it anymore. Do you blog? So what site do you use, can you make your blog completely private? Do you blog?

I use blogger.com. (My blog is in my profile) and yes, you can make it so no one sees your post. You can also use livejournal. Which is free and you can hide what posts you want.

I have for over 2 years. I really enjoy the little online family that I have. Most of my posts are friends only so only they know what is going on with me. Alot of my online friends are real life friends and it is a great way for us to keep up with each other since we all live so far apart. Livejournal.com has many post options from private to selective friends to whole communities.

AngelGirl - When blogs first became popular, I thought it was just a "dumb fad" that would pass soon but over the last few months, I have been thinking about doing this too. I run a small biz for 4-6 years and I'm so tired of having to use "corporate-speak" and canned messages. I want to be able to just say whatever is on my mind (talk about my pets, surgery, anxiety/OCD probs, movies I saw, etc). I think it would be a liberating experince for me as well as very therapeutic.

It seems to becoming very popular. Is livejournal free? I need something free and private for only my eyes. Wouldn't want just anybody reading all my inner secrets and thoughts that I never talk to anybody about. Do you blog?

I use livejournal, and it is free, and gives you the option to leave it completely private, or friend locked so that only your friends can read or public.....

I've been using it since October, and I love it.
