Protecting your "secret blog"

Do you want to keep your blog secret? This article offers some useful tips on what to do (and what not to do) to try to maintain anonymity. The last item is worth keeping in mind:
Remember that this is the Internet. Somehow, some way, someone you know just might fall upon that little secret blog. Even if you've done everything suggested above that someone might be able to read between the lines and see you behind the curtain. Keep that in mind before you press "post." This doesn't mean self-censorship should be turned to "high," because that would defeat the point. It just means that common sense should prevail.
For the record: this blog isn't secret. Even my boss reads it. (Hi Roy). And, no, I don't have a separate secret blog. It's hard enough to find the time and content for this one. (Via Scripting News)
