I cannot but underline this statement very much, because it literally shaked my blogging basics. But nevertheless I would like to add, that it depends. It depends on the context. If I write something in medinfo it’s more “official”, if I write something in this blog it’s more personal – on the average. The reader will take this into account when judging if a posting is appropriate.

And it is a good reflection, I think, of who I am. I suspect that it does reduce readership, however, which is why most blogging guidelines argue against it. The more important and universal part of my post is that regardless of how many blogs you have, you still need to remember that it is a public forum, and you have to be willing to stand behind everything that you write.
