I even make them intentionally vague so they won't be solved by a 5 minute internet search, but probably would by a 10 minute one. ;-) I don't actively post my location because that seems a little weird and I don't advertise my barn for the same reasons. I don't want my blog to come up if someone is googling boarding or training in my area. I'm not an advertisement, good or bad, for those businesses. <br /><br />It's all what you're comfortable with. At the end of the day, I don't think anyone is sorting through hundreds of horse-y themed blogs posts looking for someone to actually stalk, so you're probably fine.SprinklerBandithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02948487857418394022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7234412011504408480.post-6272305165418740702014-09-26T13:08:44.052-04:002014-09-26T13:08:44.052-04:00I agree.

(not that it's hard to figure out where i am anyway... but still)<br /><br />all that really matters to me re: etiquette is that i am not writing stuff that would embarrass me (or be perceived as hurtful) if someone i knew read it. emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7234412011504408480.post-48127092068114818382014-09-26T11:58:17.691-04:002014-09-26T11:58:17.691-04:00This is the post I wrote a while ago that L is ref...This is the post I wrote a while ago that L is referring to --> http://www.shemovedtotexas.com/being-a-good-blogging-citizen/<br /><br />I don't think it matters whether you 'out' your trainer or not. I don't say explicitly who I train with, but it would take someone 5 minutes of deducing to figure it out. My theory is that my blog is my choice to put shit out on the internet, and I don't want to drag my trainer or barn friends into that without asking their permission. <br /><br />Like Amanda said, your blog your rules. Everyone approaches things a little bit differently!SheMovedtoTexashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01062200290148658096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7234412011504408480.post-32875488761971845992014-09-26T11:35:52.595-04:002014-09-26T11:35:52.595-04:00I use initials too, although it wouldn't be ve...I use initials too, although it wouldn't be very hard to figure out who I'm talking about. But I think it's a nice courtesy to those who I'm close with that don't read my blog or wish the be blogged about.

I think it's up to everyone to reveal as much or as little as they're comfortable with, and the only person who has to be happy with your reasoning is you (and, I suppose, the people you're blogging about). The idea of "blog etiquette" is a little silly IMO.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7234412011504408480.post-85592338434875098022014-09-26T11:17:40.943-04:002014-09-26T11:17:40.943-04:00Lauren had posts about blogger etiquette but I thi...Lauren had posts about blogger etiquette but I think there is nothing wrong with using initials, that isn't a faux pas in my opinion.L.Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05052638724440787772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7234412011504408480.post-13304346811674117872014-09-26T11:15:39.461-04:002014-09-26T11:15:39.461-04:00I think it's a personal thing, how comfortable...I think it's a personal thing, how comfortable you feel revealing the more personal identifying characteristics about your life. For instance, I've learned the hard way to be more conservative about writing about trainers and such (therefore I only use initials) and I don't talk about the name of my barn or specifically where I am located. However, I've become much less conservative about identifying myself. I used to go by my nickname but now I don't care so much. I'm even friends with several bloggers on Fbook and met up with bloggers in RL. I don't think there is or should be a true etiquette. Your blog, your life. Do what you think is best:)Marehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16127842562111344534noreply@blogger.com
