As with any new concept or technology, blogging raises a number of frequently asked questions, usually concerning the various features and functions most blogs have on offer.  There's no need to feel overwhelmed by blogging technology, although you sometimes may feel that you simply can't make sense of the service.  Keep an open mind and experiment, and you should find your way through the blogging maze.

One of the most common questions asked about blogging is about privacy.  Can people find out personal or revealing information about you?  How safe is blogging?  Is it better to blog anonymously?  How do you know who to trust?  All of these questions are important, and unfortunately there are no definite answers.  Essentially, if you don't publish sensitive information, it is a lot harder for people to maliciously take advantage of you or your security.  Never publish banking details, for instance, and be wary of publishing your address, phone number or full name and birth date.  If you are particularly worried about your privacy, you can blog anonymously, though this is not foolproof especially if you blog about specific events or people.
