I have a problem. I’m trying to raise funds for the Cave Rescue Organisation by doing their 12 Mile Challenge. I’d like to post a link to my Just Giving page on my blog, but the page has my real name on it, in the link in fact.
Do I post it or not risk it?
Maybe you could set up some sort of a paypal account that you could then transfer all funds from to the charity. I think you could probably print a screen shot or something of the transfer and blank out your details or something to show the honesty of your actions – something along those lines maybe?
Hmmm, that’s a possibility! I’ll look into it, though my Paypal is being an arse at the moment.
I guess it also depends on your level of comfort with your RL persona vs. your blogging persona. Many of my coworkers–including my boss–know that I game and that I blog about it. But I generally don’t advertise my RL name. If I can help it. If someone digs they could find it fairly easily.
Well my posts from this blog are shared on my Facebook page, so my boss and family can see what I write no problem, but it’s not like anything I write here is offensive or risqué. But there is at least one person I’d rather not find this blog, an ex who dug up an old personal blog of mine a few years back to call me names. I’d rather it didn’t happen here.
