I've only recently been reading your blog, but I loved the post about the patterns in Harry Potter books so much that I will stop by more often now. I've always blogged under my real name because I consider it part of my professional work, but I'm very wary of putting personal stuff online. That's why my facebook page lies dormant...Heidi Rabinowitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03412775388549758908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4372766156282694670.post-61276381376548395932009-01-24T19:13:00.000-05:002009-01-24T19:13:00.000-05:00It's nice to meet you ... and link a name to the b...It's nice to meet you ... and link a name to the blog. Although I didn't hesitate to use my real name, I am hesitant when it comes to pictures, especially with my daughter.

I've always admired that you put your name right on your blog. <BR/><BR/>Laura- thanks for delurking! This is great, I didn't know you were a regular reader. <A HREF="http://wizardswireless.blogspot.com/2008/10/change-of-topic.html" REL="nofollow">Here’s </A>the post where I announced my new job. I kind of like Harry Potter myself. <BR/><BR/>Melissa- I don't think it matters to regular readers what my name is.<BR/>I've been finding it hard to build a reputation on a pseudonym. And although it will now be easier in Google to find out who I am. But, I always post as if my boss, a potential employer and the New York Times is going to read what I write. <BR/><BR/>And I'm worried about safety, of course, particularly for my son.

Which not many do, so I guess I'm glad for that.<BR/><BR/>Anyway. I guess it's good to know your real name, even though I'm not sure how much it *really* matters... :)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00217383813263874657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4372766156282694670.post-88825749046327000342009-01-24T17:28:00.000-05:002009-01-24T17:28:00.000-05:00Hi Susan!I'm a long time reader, but don't comment...Hi Susan!<BR/>I'm a long time reader, but don't comment often. Congratulations on the children's librarian job! (If you mentioned it before, I've forgotten. Sorry!)<BR/><BR/>I'm a youth services librarian in a Dallas suburb. And a Harry Potter fan. :)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10587673470151777327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4372766156282694670.post-15140420925366159542009-01-24T14:40:00.000-05:002009-01-24T14:40:00.000-05:00Congratulations on coming out with your real name,...Congratulations on coming out with your real name, Susan! And I agree, you might as well do this before the PBS blog comes out. <BR/><BR/>The name thing isn't something I personally wrestled with when I started, though I was a little hesitant about putting pictures up at first. But I don't generally directly link from my blog to my work, and vice versa. And I try to maintain other people's privacy, of course. <BR/><BR/>I'd still put the polls above the sidebar info. That way, new people can scroll down and see the personal info, but for regulars, they can more easily see when you have a new poll.Jen Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10343476550309656223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4372766156282694670.post-1386230128103781072009-01-24T13:44:00.000-05:002009-01-24T13:44:00.000-05:00Abby- I've been wrestling with it forever. And you...Abby- I've been wrestling with it forever. And you'll notice, I didn't say which branch I worked at, only the system. I have my blog on my resume too. But I've been finding it's not an effective professional development tool if nobody knows who I am. <BR/><BR/>Also, the PBS blog launch is imminent. I'll be posting there under my real name and it will reach a much larger audience, so it seemed logical to add my name to Wizards Wireless. It's a tough decision, though.Susan Kuselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15613470998029847177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4372766156282694670.post-31453466138996881732009-01-24T13:37:00.000-05:002009-01-24T13:37:00.000-05:00Y'know, anonymity is something I've thought about ...Y'know, anonymity is something I've thought about a lot. I've posted pictures of myself and obviously my name is Abby. ;) If you wanted to, you could pretty easily figure out what library I work at, but I don't blatantly post it in an effort to protect the anonymity of my coworkers and patrons. My coworkers and supervisors know about and read my blog. I see it partly as a professional development tool and I've got my blog on my resume.Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09618668989233112126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4372766156282694670.post-18685290159035677452009-01-24T13:10:00.000-05:002009-01-24T13:10:00.000-05:00Thanks, Holly!
