Edit: Duh, I need to read the instructions it seems..

I quite like blog.co.uk. but I'm not totally enamoured with how when you create a new blog site, the whole world has to know about it.I think it would be cool if you could create new blogs and in some ways disassociate yourself from them publically, or at least have the option to hide their existence from other casual visitors or friends should you so choose..

Currently every new blog site that anyone creates is there to be seen by others in ones profile. For others, your new posts will appear to them in their 'friends posts' list and unless you make it private, everyone will be able to tie your identity to what you write.

If you make it private then its a pointless exercise as for me, the whole point of blogging is to communicate ideas, express what you think and gain a little feedback and discussion. If you want to keep everything private then you might as well just open up a word document and save it in a password protected directory on your hard drive!

Why does this matter? Well, as I've touched on already, there may for example, be something that I want to blog on which is kinda personal. It could be the rumination of the loss of a loved one, it could be some discussion of some obscure sexual fantasy involving sellotape and blue tack, it could be related to how crap my current job is (it isn't) , some anorak interest, a business venture maybe... basically, it could be any number of things that I want to discuss and get feedback on whilst at the same time preserving a degree of anonymity.

I think I'll write to blog.co.uk and see what they think. It shouldn't be too hard to implement, just a line of code in a file somewhere.
