Although I still don't blare it out to the people I work with directly, it has become a source of empowerment to me in my career and I think that my message is overall positive. I too am always concerned about the opinion of future employers, and wondered what having my identity revealed on my blog might do. I hope it will bring good things, so far it has.The Nerdy Nursehttp://www.thenerdynurse.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7860126842626343555.post-34838681643683623332011-03-19T21:59:09.534-05:002011-03-19T21:59:09.534-05:00Well, hello there!

Not to mention, of course, meeting you in person!<br /><br />I had my name out there in the newspaper world first, so didn't think much about putting it out there in the D-blogosphere. But I still try to keep a line between what I do professionally and personally on the D-front. But I also don't see myself going for anything in the future that wouldn't be D-focused, so I think that helps me keep it out there.<br /><br />Anyhow, good for you and hope it leads to even more great things!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7860126842626343555.post-4969224147768684472011-03-18T22:47:30.001-05:002011-03-18T22:47:30.001-05:00It's nice to meet the real you!

Pretty sad, as I'd like to start a blog for us over-50's Type I's. <br /><br />Anyway, I'm intrigued by your last name. I am guessing it is of Slavic origin. Maybe Czech?

But thanks to the Internet, the only way I'd be able to hide meant no advocating at all. So here I am, last name and all. Thank you for your decision, and I think it's very encouraging!Victoria Cumbowhttp://www.victoriacumbow.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7860126842626343555.post-76359109383996424522011-03-18T09:58:32.470-05:002011-03-18T09:58:32.470-05:00I agree with Rachel.

I have been Allison Blass on the Internet for about 10 years, and didn't give it much thought when I was younger because I was published in newspapers first. Just seemed natural to keep up the identity trend. But even today, sometimes I do wish I was more anonymous, because you can feel a little stifled when you know that people know who you are. <br /><br />But most of the time I don't give a shit. And more often than not I still say what I would have said. :) <br /><br />I think this will be really good for you, and for the plans that you have. You go girl!Allison Blasshttp://www.lemonadelife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7860126842626343555.post-11062993708570977442011-03-18T08:54:14.977-05:002011-03-18T08:54:14.977-05:00It IS scary, I remember going through all of it up...It IS scary, I remember going through all of it upon getting my dLife column four years ago.<br /><br />Sometimes you'll wish you hadn't, most of the time you won't. :)Rachelhttp://www.diabetesdaily.com/baumgartelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7860126842626343555.post-77942579813858355802011-03-18T08:43:14.282-05:002011-03-18T08:43:14.282-05:00Thank you Mrs. Vlasnik!!!

Like yours...Go you! :-) Here's to good things.<br /><br />Like yourself and Karen, I went through the whole no full name debate for a long time.

For a long time I tried to keep my last name off-line, but somewhere around last fall I decided it was okay to put it out there & I went ahead and attached it to my Twitter account. And as for the future career hopes - I'm right there with you. Wouldn't it be great to have a job doing something we are so passionate about?Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03836215891806148229noreply@blogger.com
