Momversation: Censoring Your Blog

nospam@example.com ()

We love our Momversation panelists because they are affecting, forthright, (and great) writers. But they've sometimes received criticism for their blogs, especially when they're writing about their children. So, Rebecca Woolf of Girl's Gone Child asks her fellow mom bloggers, "How (and when) do you censor your own blogs?"

What's your opinion on self-censorship? Do you think mommy bloggers should write about their children? Their partners? What is appropriate to write about, and what should be off limits?

Oprah is ubiquitous. She's got a book club, her favorite things, O Magazine (with her picture on the cover, natch), and of course, The Oprah Winfrey Show.
