What It's All About

What is BlogAnon?
BlogAnon is a space for people to vent, ask questions, or post about things they don't feel comfortable posting about on their own blog. This might be because they have friends or relatives that read the blog, because it reflects a different point of view than what they normally share, or because it just isn't the type of thing that they'd normally post.

What kind of things can I post?
Anything! There are no limits on topics. Your post can be humorous, heart-breakingly sad, or just a release of all the anger and frustration you have being holding in until this point. You can post a story, a request for advice, a quick thought...whatever you need to write.

How do I use BlogAnon?

Username: bloganon_user@yahoo.com
Password: anonblog

To write and publish an anonymous post, simply visit NEW Blogger.com and sign in with the information above. Once signed in, click on the icon for "New Post." Once at the compose screen, create a title for your post (optional), then write your heart out. When you are done, click "Publish Post" at the bottom of the screen. When the post is finished publishing, click "Sign Out" in the upper right corner so someone else can post.

Are there any rules?
We ask that you respect your fellow anonymous bloggers and treat each post with seriousness (if appropriate) and respect, as this is a space for honesty and openness. While we hope to never have to resort to this, the Admin team reserves the right to delete any comments we feel are inappropriate or that may lead to flame wars. In addition, if signed into BlogAnon, please do not edit or in any way touch a post that is not yours. Finally, as a suggestion, if the original poster wants to respond to comments that have been left regarding their post, we recommend prefacing your comment body with "Original Poster" so it is known that you are the post author.

Where did this idea come from?
Several bloggers recently discussed how there were many posts they wanted desperately to write, but couldn't because of the people who knew about their blogs and therefore might see it. Issues ranged from coworkers to relatives to relationships to points of view that they didn't wish their readers to know about. During this discussion, a few of the bloggers said they were considering quitting their current blog and starting a new, completely different one under a different name, which they would then tell no one about. However, an idea was tossed out that eventually became this blog - why not start a public blog where people could go to write posts anonymously? That way the blogger could retain his or her current blog without going through all the hassle of creating a new one, and have an outlet for all those posts that were previously unwritable.
