Thanks for the congratulations! As for the question of anonymity, I’ve never used GoDaddy, so I’m not sure how it works there, but typically you can simply request your whois information to be protected. If you asked for “privacy” I’m surprised that did not happen for you. Perhaps you can contact GoDaddy and explain what you are trying to do and hopefully someone in customer service can help. If you do figure it out please come back and leave a comment or email me. I would love to leave the information here, because a few other people have asked about it since I wrote this post.

I appreciate your comment. I am also super private in real life. My husband and I started dating in college and I told everyone we were friends for years. It was true. We were friends. I just left out the other parts. Overall, I just like to keep my business to myself. Staying anonymous feels so much safer. You are right, you can state your name, but you can never repeal it from this crazy Internet.

By the way I just recently found your blog, (last week), and love it! You fill an interesting PF niche that I don’t often see.

It definitely stings, though, to not be able to be mentioned in media.

I love your blog because you share so openly and honestly. Especially about the struggles with your family. There are so many times I’ve sent virtual hugs out into the universe for you. I can see why you don’t want to reveal yourself. I wish you were coming to Fincon too. I would love to finally meet you in real life.

I like blogs that are written anonymously and those that are not. In fact, I have favorites in both spaces. It’s all about the voice of the blogger and whether or not their words resonate with me. Whether they show their name or not doesn’t matter to me. You are right about Fincon. I definitely feel like I’m dipping my toes into something new and to be honest it’s a little bit scary.
