Why Do You Want Me To Wear The Mask Honey?

I have seen other bloggers criticized for blogging anonymously. I respect that criticism. The only reason I blog anonymously is security. I actually created blogs for my daughters before I created my own. (They love putting their stories on the web!) The first thing my lovely wife asked me was, "Is it safe?" Since they were also anonymous blogs I felt I could say yes. When I created my own blog I followed this pattern. In this age of identity theft, anonymity on the web is useful. What do you do to blog safely? Am I doing something to decrease my safety here?
