Picture that post title said in my most disdainful voice please… ;o)
Actually, it’s not entirely a joke, as it would seem that I appear to be anonymous! Lizzie Allen very kindly pointed out to me last week that I’m blog of the month in British Patchwork & Quilting in the August issue (hello if you’re visiting from there btw *waves*). It’s lovely to be featured, but in the description I discovered that I’m anonymous…
I suppose it’s never occurred to me that people wouldn’t know my name, because I comment on other people’s blogs and it’s my own name that appears on the comment, but right enough, it’s hardly obvious around my blog! I shall have to work out how to fix that and make it more clear, but the question is, do your readers know who you are? Or are you all flying under the radar too?!
That's pretty funny!
But I clicked on your "About Me – View my Complete profile" teddy picture and it does goes to a page that has your full name on it.
But I do like your mystique!
Hasn't your "about me" and the posting title always had Katy on it?
Pwahaha! They could have at least made the article header say The Littlest Thistle instead of just the url! hehehe, poor anonymous Thistle.
Problems here too. I always went under "The Bear's Blog" but when I signed up for g+1 I was switched to my name. Looks like it's impossible to switch back – have to ask permission from Blogger, don't know if it's worth the time.
You will always be LT over here. (o:
I think it's very clear on your blog who you are. I would be perturbed about that but it's very nice recognition for your fabulous blog!
What a shame they didn't try a bit harder to put your name to the blog, but congrats on being featured!
Before you came to stay if ever I told people about going to the Retreat with you I always said your full name in such a way it made it sound like you were famous and everyone should know who I meant 🙂 What I don't understand is having gone to the trouble of featuring you in the mag' and given it's not exactly difficult to contact you, you'd have thought they've have given you a heads up before publishing – therefore easily finding out who you are? I'm not sure I'm known or not and it doesn't bother me as I'm hardly likely to be featured in a magazine. That said it was lovely at the Retreat when people I didn't know, knew me from my blog – in a nice way.
I sign every post with Susan so people know who I am. No doubt about it. But, like Jan, I don't think it will ever be an issue either way.
Oh that is too bad. Your "about me" does not say anything about you. Guess you need to tell the world about yourself Katy.
Well, that never occurred to me: I just always knew you were Katy
I'm trying to forget who you are if that helps? ;o)
You are such a shy retiring sort Katy! NOT!
I know who you are but I'm not sure I know who I am…
P.S. Congratulations!
I know a celebrity? Very exciting for the both of us, Katy! 😉 But seriously, Congrats!!
Hi Katy Cameron, I think they should do a profile article about you to make it up to you. Congratulations on being blog of the month!!
How lovely to be blog of the month, but I should have thought it's hardly rocket science to send you a quick email to find out who you are (and to warn you you'd be in the spotlight…). Anyway, at the bottom of your post it says "posted by Katy Cameron"!!
Awesome to be featured! And I totally knew your name 🙂
Ha, I can't believe you're an anonymous blogger, you don't remain anonymous in real life for long! Well done on being featured.
Well congratulations on being anonymously famous ! Your name is at the bottom of every blog post so Ive always known who you are !
"yes" is the answer !!! congrats on being anon :)))
(Oh look – there's a Sandra Sews who has already posted a comment – for a brief second I thought it was ME, lolol!)
I know who you are – your name is on each blog post, and on my reader, your posts are titled with "The Littlest Thistle by [email protected] (Katy Cameron)". I agree with the other Sandra – it's hardly rocket science to be able to figure it out rather quickly!
Well, doesn't everyone know who I am? I suppose that the writer of the article could have tried just the tiniest bit harder as I see your post says posted by Katy Cameron. Nice to be in an article all the same.
There's a lot of debate about online presence, and I read a lot of blogs, and was a lurker for quite a while, before I decided my handle would be just me…so no, it's not obvious what I blog about, but it's always obvious who I am. But ditto, you would think they would be courteous enough to talk to you before featuring you, and getting pertinent info like your name!
Congrats on being the Blog of the Month! Personally, and this is just personally, I tell my first name in my profile, but not my surname. And I have nicknames for all my kids on the blog. When we lived in England, we were SO indoctrinated to keep our blogs, Facebook, etc. rather anonymous just for security purposes (scary Brits, and all!), so I just left it that way.
But I agree…it's not hard to find your name, and if they're in journalism, it's kind of their JOB to find out tidbits of useful information, isn't it?? 🙂
It's all down to the research – duh!
Lazy reporting, I would say. I don't want anyone random to know who I am ( not that it's an issue!). Congrats on being blog of the month, anonymous or not.
Congrats on being featured! Jxo
The bit under your post that says "Posted by Katy Cameron" I'd have thought would be a big giveaway? Maybe they're used to seeing little intro pieces in the sidebar on blogs?
you mean you aren't actually Ms Littlest Thistle? I am so confused! Congrats on the feature 😀
Hahaha! I do think think you're anonymous! I know how you feel though; I just was at the Fqr and my name tag kept flipping round all the time, to the back. Plus, I vad chosen Lizzie instead of Swedish Scrapper…. Congrats on the publish 😀
I'm not anonymous, although I don't think anyone particularly cares who I am!!!
Isns't anonymous a stupid word?
If you've become anonymous, does that me we don't have to buy you Christmas and birthday presents anymore?
Tee hee. Well doen for being featured.
Dad
XXX
You mean your forename isn't Littlest? On my blog side bar, the "about me" does have my real name, so I guess I'm covered. You will have to wear your FQR name badge ALL the time now!! I wonder what lovely person made it? Wink…..xx
Hmmm… I'm no journalist, but just clicking on "About Me" would have led to your email. A quick email could have un-masked who you really are (and isn't it just common courtesy anyway to let you know you were being featured?)!
At any rate, congrats!
I agree they should have emailed you…but maybe now I will update my info…not that anyone would be tat interested in me though!
testing
I'm not using my real name on the internet: it cannot be pronounced if you're not Dutch…
Well, Betty van Os, anyone can say that!
Easypeasy
Anonymous? Doesn't it say your name at the bottom of every post? That's too funny!
Being anonymous makes you sound so scandalous!
Don't think much of their investigative skills!!!!!! A friend who work at Heathrow tell the story of a man who pushed yo the front of a queue with that question, to have the rep say, loudly, ladies and gentleman, can I have you attention, this gentleman has just asked if I know who he is? I don't, but if any of you knows him, perhaps you can remind him as he's obviously forgotten his name
Bet he never tried that one again!
Well you are not anonymous to me. You are my Christmas Cske supplier and my friend. Not in that order of course.
