I stick with entertainment on my entertainment blog. The only time I talked politics on my blog is when our Pres was running for office because I was emotionally involved and wanted him to win. I figured that if me supporting him offended someone, then frankly at that point, I didn't care.Shelia Gosshttp://www.sheliagoss.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7277155101768234065.post-14944760812206424752010-04-27T11:01:50.043-04:002010-04-27T11:01:50.043-04:00Desiree, same here.

I know social media has helped me sell more books and I have to admit it's a medium I enjoy using, more so than placing random advertisements, which I do also. <br /><br />I have a pretty strong personality and I'm pretty opinionated, so I have to be careful about posting what I think sometimes. It's also the reason I choose to blog about books and not my personal thoughts.rhonda mcknighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02018229725796276222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7277155101768234065.post-85897890063519111692010-04-27T08:17:33.800-04:002010-04-27T08:17:33.800-04:00Hi Shelia,

I totally agree with you, where some authors might upset some readers with their comments. So I'm very careful about what I post. Also, as a reader, if one of my favorite authors wrote something that had upset me, I would re-consider whether or not I would support him or her.<br /><br />And if I had ever used the anonymous key when posting, I did it out of laziness. I don't post anything that I don't mind people reading.<br /><br />Thanks for a great post.<br /> <br /><br /><br />______________________________<br />Desiree Day<br />Spiritual Seduction - April 2010<br />One G-String Short of Crazy - October 2007<br />Cruising - September 2006<br />Crazy Love - September 2005Desiree Dayhttp://www.desireeday.comnoreply@blogger.com
