Who knows that you blog?by David JamiesonDavid talks about his reluctance to share details about his blog with a colleague, and asks whether other people with blogs tell their friends and family.Read post ➡I saw this post in my RSS reader this morning, followed by a reply from Alex, so I thought I'd add my own opinion to the mix.I'm similar to David and Alex - I'm not forthcoming with the fact that I have a blog, but I don't hide it either. I think that's mainly because most of my friends and family won't really care about what I write here, so it's a pointless exercise.I know there are a couple of friends who read what I write regularly, and I'm not sure how they came across my blog - like I said, I don't advertise it. Having said that, my real name is Kev Quirk, so if anyone who knows me searches for my name, I imagine this blog would be close to, if not the, top hit.When people ask me about my hobbies, I tend to say "I enjoy writing" rather than "I have a blog." And I think that's because of the negative connotations blogging has with the general public.I think some people tend to put "bloggers" in the same bucket as influencers, or podcasters. Which isn't the case - many of us bloggers have no aspirations of influencing anything, we just like to share out thoughts on a medium we control. If it comes up in conversation though, I'll nonchalantly say that I have a blog.Anyway, that's my response. Who knows that you blog? Thanks for reading this post via RSS.
