Here's the thing - I want to blog about being a freemason's wife, among other things. I haven't been able to find much about that on the net. Only thing is, will it get my husband into trouble? Because it'll be very tongue in cheek. And with SEO (yeah I had to google it!) these very serious guys would probably pick it up? Heck, I might even get a novel out of this venture. Thanks, Dave and Holly for your input. I do believe it will be fun. Hey I’m blushing! Here’s the thing – I want to blog about being a freemason’s wife, among other things.

Well, Shirls, first thing you do is ensure domestic harmony and tranquility - make sure your husband's okay with it, and respect any boundaries he's got about what is okay to write about and what's not. If you think anything you might write could "get him into trouble" then don't post it without giving him the opportunity to look it over first. (He's a big boy - if he says 'go for it' and later gets into trouble, at least he's approved it and shares the blame, right?) I think it would be interesting to read, especially if done with humor. And while I'm all about freedom of expression and no censorship, I gave the advice above as a woman who has been happily married for over a quarter of a century - and would like to STAY that way. ;) I'm also all about privacy rights, even when I have no secrets to speak of - you know, in principle, what's my business is MY business. Having said that, what my husband and kids do to ME or in public is kind of ... not entirely private, insofar as it affects me. Respect and a sense of boundaries keeps me from writing about "intimate" matters - there are things I have no desire to share with my readers. But I think you get what I'm saying - insofar as you are telling YOUR story and YOUR side of things, you should, in principle, be free to write anything you like. It's all about balance, with a healthy dash of love and respect thrown in. Assume that with or without SEO, anything you post publicly will be stumbled upon by the people you LEAST want to see it. Can you live with that? If so - you lodge your tongue firmly in your cheek, grab your keyboard, and go for it! :) .-= Holly Jahangiri´s last blog ..Experiment & Results: Improving Alexa Rank =-.

From my perspective, Step 2 is not difficult and it's good to build good habits from the start. Let's let Shirls decide: Skip Step 2? Or not. It's cool either way. If you can't decide, flip a coin and go with it. Since you're knee deep in my stuff today Holly, perhaps you could volunteer to help Shirls get her 2d article posted? =) Good point, Holly.

Shirls is a courageous, strong, ambitious and motivated woman about to step off on a lifelong journey of wonder, excitement, revelation and epiphany! And you think she's daunted by a trifling acronym? Piffle! Balderdash, woman!
