can you spell anonymous?

Writing here, I'm having a hard time deciding how much and what type of information to make publicly available. Some people (for example, dooce) have their name, where they live, how many times a day they poop, etc. available for anyone who wants to know. On the plus side, that amount of openness makes it easy to put up photos and write about people and events without having to disguise them in some manner. It also makes for interesting content when you are willing to discuss almost anything about yourself. On the down side, it can lead to problems with family and friends who don't like what you write, internet stalkers, and there's always that fun possibility of getting fired (again, I reference dooce). Currently I'm anonymous, complete with pseudonym, no real identifying information, no photos of me, etc. This is the easy way out. If I'm anonymous, I can write whatever I like without the possibility of friends or family who don't share my views reading it and being pissed off/insulted. The only reason I don't want to do this is so those people I'm not in touch with very frequently have a way to see what I've been up to, but I don't think I'm ready to go for it yet. Even beyond how I write it, what stuff is okay to write about? Pooping? Sex? School? Family? Friends? Work is a definite no. Politics? Where does one draw the line? I guess it just comes down to what one is individually comfortable with, and right now I'm not sure what that is.
