🔗 Forking Mad: Who knows that you blog?

Question for the audience: Do you tell people you blog?

I found this post via Kev Quirk who posted his own answer to this question. Mine are quite similar: I don’t really make a point of telling people I have a blog. It’s not like I keep it a complete secret: if someone talks about writing or keeping a blog of their own, I do mention that I also have one. And I may say a few words on what I tend to write about. But I rarely mention the URL or send links to people.

That said, I know of a few people that are aware of it. I have a link to it on my LinkedIn profile and one or two people I work closely with stumbled upon it that way (hi, K.K. 👋). And I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing. It keeps me honest, and resident of the fact that whatever is written here is public. That’s always been true, but it becomes quite tangible if you know the people who can read it.

But no, I generally don’t make it a point that I keep a blog.
