I don't think that's true on blogger any longer, but at the time it seemed an unnecessary hassle. In those two things, a third thing happened as well: a realization that this is what life is like--just a little unfinished, always with more things to plug in.<br /><br />I agree that deciding whether to be anonymous or not is the biggest issue. there are many times when I wish my blog was anonymous...which is one reason i blog less frequently now (or I blog at my other, no-names-no-links space sometimes). For the most part, though, I've been happy to have a publicly searchable blog. Just know that it's easy to find you, and think about what you write!Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10838436991138846332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-5715255141300135162010-07-16T17:56:34.558-04:002010-07-16T17:56:34.558-04:00A new adventure!

You've had great advice...A new adventure! Yes! <br />You've had great advice. Hopefully you're ready to begin looking forward to it with anticipation rather than trepidation. Especially if it's a desire that's been planted in your heart from God. Allow it time to grow. Ask God for creativity, the ultimate source for all things creative,then water the ideas that show up and watch what grows ... <br />We should find your creatively named blog and suitable postings in no time. <br />Be blessed in your dreaming, planting and tending...faith hope cherryteahttp://faithhopecherrytea.posterous.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-80785670126301310382010-07-16T12:51:28.883-04:002010-07-16T12:51:28.883-04:00having just begun blogging 2 1/2 months ago, yours...having just begun blogging 2 1/2 months ago, yours is still a fresh scenario for me. i had no idea where to begin, just sensed i needed to do this as part of ministry as a new pioneer minister. i emailed the webdesigner of a friend's website, who guided me to the simplest possible blog set up at posterous.com - as simple as writing an email and clicking send! <br />as to choosing a name and what to post, i'd suggest clarifying your purpose. mine was to provide opps for infusing and inspiriting. maybe there's a word or phrase that will identify the purpose of your blog or identify you or what you're about..God's the initiator, so if you're being directed to do this, ask for the answers to your questions..<br />i have to say it's been the most fun thing to research and release posts meaningful to me then watch the viewing tally climb. which means others are being infused, fulfilling the intended purpose of the blog. cool!infusehttp://infuse.posterous.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-89494368890252638872010-07-16T10:07:58.527-04:002010-07-16T10:07:58.527-04:00I use a pseudonym that is a childhood version of m...I use a pseudonym that is a childhood version of my name, but I link most of my posts to my facebook page, so in that regard, there are a lot of people who know who I am.<br /><br />I've also begun experimenting with writing password protected posts because of the wide variety of people who are my facebook friends. (You may read whatever into that you need to.) :) I haven't posted them yet, but I've written them. It's a start.<br /><br />I've had a few identities since the beginning of RGBP, and abandoned one that was quite well known when my life suddenly changed in some traumatic ways. I needed to let that part of my life be finished.<br /><br />My most recent blog title actually comes from the lyrics of a Jason Mraz song, "I'm Yours." Its a way of acknowledging the journey I've been on this past year.Juleshttp://winsomelearnsome.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-56934076155075274942010-07-15T20:37:11.982-04:002010-07-15T20:37:11.982-04:00I've bridged the 'anonymous/real' divi...I've bridged the 'anonymous/real' divide by using my real first name (which is pretty unusual) but a childhood avatar. My blog can't be searched for on Google, but if someone I know finds me they will probably pick up enough to know it's me. The blog name was my passionate refrain on moving to a new country and a new denomination with what seemed to me to be incrediby confining structures and a classic 70's logo. I'm better adjusted a few years later, and the 'set the bird free' passion remains with less of the angst and frustration of a new migrantMavishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10742184738139404524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-74399037521226287472010-07-15T15:04:04.839-04:002010-07-15T15:04:04.839-04:00There are times that I would like to NOT be public...There are times that I would like to NOT be public, but because it is public, it requires that I "self edit". And that's not a bad thing.<br /><br />My title came from one of my favorite pieces of music (Schubert's "Unfinished Symphony") and expresses my trust in the process of God's work in my life and the world.<br /><br />Blogging has become less frequent for me and I just realized how much I need the process of writing and honing (and self-editing) to understand the events in my life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-54365765272246807402010-07-15T14:58:04.310-04:002010-07-15T14:58:04.310-04:00I can only echo the comment that the decision to p...I can only echo the comment that the decision to pseudonymous or use your real identity is probably the biggest choice. When I started blogging almost 5 years ago almost everyone was pseudonymous but that seems less true now; there are advantages and disadvantages either way, and you should consider if you want to be found by your parishioners or if you want to be more private.<br /><br />As for my name: my kids were in elementary school when I was in grad school and we used to joke that when I finished they would have to call me "Dr. Mom." They were in college when I was in seminary, and we joked more about all the things that they 'might' call me when I was ordained, and Rev. Dr. Mom was born. So it was a natural when I needed a pseudonym, and worked as a blog title as well. <br /><br />I don't think titles have to be clever--just chose something that speaks to *you*--that's how/why I use Robert Frost's "The Road Less Traveled" in my tag line; to me, it fits my life.<br /><br />And welcome to the blogging community!Rev Dr Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14686528826414330355noreply@blogger.com
