I made an entry some time back about Puggable, which is a project initiated by a guildie of mine. I was very worried that he’d be offended at my clumsy journalistic attempts. But when I showed him the entry, he was actually excited about it. When it comes to guild matters, what worries me is that they would see it as “our confidential discussions posted all over the internet”. But at the same time, I love writing about the discussions we have and the challenges we face because I find them fascinating and I want to analyse them under different lights, for the mere fun of playing with the thoughts. Maybe I could just ask those concerned before blogging about a topic that might be in the “confidential” category? They’d probably tell me if they’re fine with it or not.

I hesitate about putting a link to my blog in my signature. I do have it as my website link because I didn’t want to be secretive (plus I post my information-type posts on our message board so they’d easily find me if they googled any sentence) but putting it out in the open makes me feel… somewhat naked. Even introducing myself on Blog Azeroth was a huge deal. Receiving hits from people who aren’t looking for beacon of light mechanics or giant spoons pushes me way out of my comfort zone! But it’s nice too, like a scary ride at an amusement parc.

Thank you so much for the comment. I have been following your blog for months and I love your writing so I am really excited to receive your imput on a topic like this.

It’s your blog, you’re the king! Personally I’ve decided to never write anything at the blog that I couldn’t tell a guildie upfront. And I’ve never ever hidden it from anyone, on the contrary I spread the blog address in the signature at our guild forum.
Yeah, it IS a little limiting – I can’t just pour my heart out and use the blog as an outlet if it involves the guild. But on the other hand – it makes me feel free too. I’m never ever sneaking, I never ever have to worry about if I’ve crossed the line.
