I've just set up a pc blog and I'm just wondering...who can read it...just me, just pc members or the whole world

[Zorah]

the whole world, we think, like the forums, be careful with names & places & such.

Thank you Zorah, I'm quite new to the net and just finding out it has down sides too.

But thanx I'll bear in mind about names, places etc

It will be under your Kalamity Jane name so "you" are pretty secure as long as you don't give many distinguishing hints away as to your actual identity. Too, someone would have to want to read you :-)

I liken it to when I lived in a high rise apartment building and was afraid someone would break into my apartment and then realized unless they already knew me, they weren't likely to pick my apartment at random.

Even personal things one says aren't "meaningful" to a stranger. It's like when you're in a car and see someone in another car doing something embarrassing. It entertains you but you don't know them and they don't know you so it's just a good reminder that cars are "public" not private spaces to some degree.

The Web's the same way as the "real" world. Just about anything and everything is out there somewhere, but who cares? :-) People out to get you can do so with or without a blog.

"People out to get you can do so with or without a blog."

Never thought about it that way before

And I didn't put it under my pc name but my prefered name.

Yes, it's public, but I think you can set each entry to private so they can only be read by you. You can go back and edit past entries and change them to private too, I believe.

I'm pretty sure about it, but not 100%.
