U Not Gonna Like This

As a MRA blogger keeping you real identity hidden from others is an aboslute must. But how to go about doing that is the question. The obvious part is the user name or pen name that you'll be using to blog with.

If you're the creative kind then you probably don't need any help in that department. However, for others who may get stuck at this point here are some tips. First off, if you can try not to pick an obvious name like Indiana Jones, or Homer Simpson, or other well-known famous characters.

Pick names from lesser-known films or fiction books.

If that don't work then there is always the online name generators:

Okay, next you need to know about anonymous browsing. The best thing you can do is use something like

Incognito:

It's a live operating system that runs directly from the computers cd tray. The only thing with Tor is if you use it to do a lot of searching then you may find yourself blocked from certain search engines, this is why I don't use it.

Just pick something from one of these links and use it when you want to do your posting to the internet:

http://lwn.net/Distributions

Now you need to find some hosting. Unfortunately at this time there doesn't seem to be many options. But I do have 3 host (besides blogger and wordpress) that can be used:
