Posted in reply to bacardi55 (Do people IRL know you have a blog?) and Alex (Do people IRL know you have a blog?)
Both bacardi55 and Alex talked about their very different approach to letting their blog be known to the people they originally met in the real work and not online. Let me also jump on the same wagon.
I am something in between – I am not hiding my blog. I am also not promoting my blog. If people ask me for my hobbies, blogging or writing on the internet will be somewhere there. If people ask more, than that is fine, if not, well, that is fine as well. If the conversation goes into that direction, I will absolutely mention why having one own site is awesome – and also the drawbacks.
