@Nathan – Actually I wasn’t concerned with the blog host per se, but more using a different blogging service to keep things sorted both in your head and avoiding accidents like following mh blogs in blogger with your “regular” identity if you have one. Or if the blog is hosted independently, ICANN becomes an issue if you own your domain name. Things like that. Less that scrupulous blog hosts, IT people at your ISP, etc. can almost always figure out who you are if they really want. Thanks for the open proxy tip too!

@Jacqui – LOL In some ways it’s much easier not bothering with anonymity. And if that works for you, have at it girlfriend!

@Dano – Using a nom de plume is ok for whatever reason you want to use it. I don’t think it follows that using a nom de plume means being ashamed. I take it as meaning you want you privacy for whatever private reasons.

On the other hand, I enjoy a relationship with my mother that I treasure. I write about my life with Bipolar II Disorder, and how poorly my family has handled it. I do not wish to hurt my mother, who is torn already, between me, her husband and her other daughter.

I chose the name from my father’s side of the family. The family he is also estranged from. There were books written about them, as early bohemians. Ironically, “bohemian” is one of the reasons my father put forth as to why he no longer wishes to see me. Him being a bourgeoise, you see.
