Thanks for the explanation, Lynn. I'm sure the timing of it (being "way back when") had much to do with how it all unfolded. I'm going to do some research on this/her as I love to dissect successful...

Eileen - you'll love the elite forum, especially if you can join in the Brainstorming Hour (although replays are always available).

Lynn - As I was reading her list I thought - Oh, she needs to...

Lynn, if you don't mind I'd like to get your thoughts (and anyone else who knows anything about Heather Armstrong's blog).

Why do you think that blog has/had such a huge following? If YOU wanted...

CarolineJ - Again, thanks for the encouragement. It really helps.

PhilT - Well, in my case, the people I would not want to discover my identity are not likely to be skilled enough to do the...

Thank you CarolineJ, I doubt you realize what an inspiration you are in what you and Davina have done, and continue to accomplish. I have been paying attention ;) I'm looking forward to learning a...

Christine... I love you. You always have such great ideas and input... thanks!

"About" pages/profiles - yes Randall, it would seem that people do want to know "you" and,toward that end, it seems obvious that you'd want to use your real name... HOWEVER... the deeper I look into...

Thanks Caroline! I think I need to pose that question to Ken and see if there are software options.

The problem with getting someone to do my voice is I wonder if someone else could convey in...

Sandy - what you say about your mother sounds very familiar... interesting.

Re: Google... I google my real name regularly just to keep track on what's out there. Believe it or not.. if I'm on...

Hey Caroline - I have no idea where Chris1 is.. I just always favor even numbers for some reason. Chris was taken so I threw on the 2 ;)

I checked the link you gave, and yes, I'm toying around...

Randall - I would, yes. PITA? (pain in the ass)... YES.. but worth it to protect yourself, your identity, assets, close relatives, etc..

Caroline - Great! I'm looking forward to your 10p worth!

Great input, everyone!

Cliff - I totally agree with you that if you offer value, people won't care what your name is. I haven't used my real name hardly at all since 2001 (only on my driver's...

I purchased Karon's course right after the webinar yesterday. I was supposed to work on an outdoor project today, but got "lucky" in that it rained all day :) so I've been going through the course. I...

Me too! Can't wait.

I just want to say thanks to everyone who's posting comments here. I'm just beginning to learn about website security, so every tidbit of good info helps!

Thank you Lynette, that's awesome of you to say that.

I've toyed with the idea for years, ever since reading a book written by someone else who left the religion. It was the first book ever...

Lynn, that's a "perfect photo", I think. What an awesome idea. Thanks for including that in this thread. (Burgess Falls?)

I really don't think there's much chance "the wrong people" will find my...

@ stormy - Thank you so much for the book title. I hadn't heard of it and just glanced at it over at Amazon. Sounds similar to the book I may one day write about my own experiences. And, yes, I've...

@ Christine - so now you're going to make me work huh?... lol. I had in mind (ideally) just sitting and talking "face to face" with people on my video explaining the points I want to share. With...

@ stormy - sorry, I misunderstood about the Google+ profiles. Thanks so much for clarifying and for the link. I'll do some reading ;) I'm honestly dragging my feet about all the social "stuff", and...

This feedback is great! Keep it coming. You've ALL made excellent observations and points, so far. Thank you.

@stormy - I just got a google+ invite from a friend of mine under her pen name... so...

Some of the comments in another thread got me to questioning the whole Online Identity thing so I'm hoping to get some feedback here.

It seems to me that a large number of successful bloggers tell...

Lynn, you mean you would prefer to have used a pen name on Clicknewz? Really?

I totally agree about issues of privacy and staying safe, but this opens a whole new set of questions/issues in...

Stephen, I could be totally wrong but... just the title of Matt's course alone tells me to stay far, far away from it. Those titles are generally products aimed at newbies and either overwhelm them...
