Hi, I’m Lindsey.
I’ve decided to stop blogging as “Shush” on WordPress.
I’m also going to change this blog’s domain sometime in the next few days as well.
Just thought you all would like to know.

Not to worry. I’ll still BE on wordpress, and this domain will still get you to my blog (thanks to the glory of forwarding)- it’ll just be emphaticasterisk.com instead of shushnow.wordpress.com- but I’ll put a post up when they switch over so everyone can update their blogrolls.
Otherwise the blog doesn’t change in the slightest, same name, same posts, same everything. I LOVE wordpress.

L, I hope you’ll post your new feed URL, too..
BTw, I’m getting winking icons in *my* comments over on amber’s blog - and a little quilt-pattern profile icon that I didn’t upload.
Do you suppose someone spiked the WordPress water supply?!

Well, look at this….real women, real names! Lindsey and Kelli…a day full of surprises! Lindsey, I’m a WordPress lover too and I’m so glad you’re nabbing up your domain name. I’d also love to hear what motivated you to bring your real name to the blog world…and you too dear Kelli.
How fun!

BTW- the little Avatars are an auto-generated feature that WordPress recently added. I switched it to “monster” instead of “identicon”. I think the little monsters are cute.

They are cute, but… I think I’d better activate a WP account so that I can choose my own avatar.

OK, here I am with my choice of icon. (Had to add an extra letter to my username, though.)

Well… I have been blogging under my own name since day one. Dang am I BORING!
Lindsey - I always liked the Shush now… why did you decide to change?

I like “Shush Now,” too.
As for blogging under my own name, I might do it again sometime, but for now, I prefer to have an “alt.self” for security/privacy reasons.

Well, girls, for one now that I’m writing for a lot more sites and trying to get my name out there I realized that it would be more effective to write under my real name rather than a pen, unless when I publish books I would publish under a pen name. So I figured where I plan on being more visible (like here and Harlot’s Sauce) I ought to go as myself. Vox, where I blog for myself, I will stay as Shush Now.
This blog will move on to it’s own domain name over the weekend (still hosted by WordPress though so no worries) and simply become emphaticasterisk.com, so there’s no reason to stay as Shush unless I want to.
And honestly? I don’t really want to. So here and elsewhere around WordPress and on any other sites I guest write as myself (like with Harlot’s sauce) I’ll be Lindsey Kaye, which, ironically, still isn’t my real name but close enough. I was going to go as Lindsey K. but it seemed too middle school.
