The article, “Blogging: self presentation and privacy” by Karen McCullagh discussed blogs and its place in our social lives on the Internet. It pointed out how much privacy blogs give bloggers and how the data they share is not very ‘private’.
One of the main ideas of the article that I read about discussed how bloggers should control the privacy settings of the blogs. It gave multiple suggestions including being careful about what personal information you share that can distinguish your online life to your personal life. More suggestions included blocking IP addresses and using privacy filters to further conceal who you are on your blog.
A second main idea the article had discussed identity bloggers have on blogs. Bloggers can have multiple blog with different identities. This is an option for bloggers because of how easy it is to set up a blog on line. The audience of blogs also have the freedom to follow blogs without letting bloggers know their identity. It give blog users freedom to say what they are thinking or feeling.

Thank you for sharing. I feel that you really grasped the point of this article. Another reason that privacy is breached with blogs. Is that blogs aren't creditable information but information that is self expressed about that topic.Many are deceived because they accept the information they read off the blog but there really is no way to verify the source of if it is creditable information. I also liked the suggestions that you gave on how they can provide better privacy among blogs. Thank you again for sharing and I really enjoyed your blog.
