So sneaky

So, I thought I was being so sneaky by putting my blog on Vox. I liked that I had a privacy option that allowed me to only share my blog with people I trust, however the nice little catch, at least as far as I can tell, is for that to happen - all my friends need to be Vox members. And that is NOT going to happen. So, I am forced to make my writing (cringe) public.

Six Apart is the host company that runs Vox (marketed as a personal blog), Typepad (for professionals), and Movable Type (for business). I liked the easy user interface and it really did only take me about 15 min to get this blog up. My husband was shocked when I returned after such a short time with "all my homework finished." That's usually not a typical work time for me... I also liked that it felt a little off the beaten path and the idea that I could participate in online communities without actually having to be public online. I think I'm just going to have to get over this issue.

So, fellow classmates, I'd love to know: Did any of you have privacy angst? Has anyone overcome this?
