It would also be a useful tool for sharing files with other organisations in our funding stream using the password protection that is implemented in the plugin.

Here's a link to the plugin in question:

Easy.

I’m a transfer student.
I’m a junior in college.
I go to Longwood University.

Honestly, you're leaving a lot of personal stuff on your blog that could identify you...

People / groups / organizations / schools often set up "Google Alerts" so that when someone publishes material using keywords, like "Longwood U.", they get an email with the link.

Someone searching Google for Longwood could also find your blog.

If you want to be anonymous, you might want to start over. Or just go with it.

The trials and tribulations of a Longwood Transfer Student!

Your first mistake was using the school's real name. That narrows it down from a possibly 6 billion people to the population of your school.

If having a blog is going to be a problem, make this one "Private", then create an entirely new account and blog. If you want readers, but not people you know, don't give out the address to anyone. Don't use place names, even the name of the city you're in.

You could also delete all of the material from your original blog -- the one the school knows about -- and turn it into something totally innocuous, like a photo blog.

Just keep in mind, 'anonymous' is very difficult.

Extremely insecure. You can use it if you buy paid hosting from some other host and use software from WordPress.ORG, but you can't use it at WordPress.com.

Unfortunately, that slightly changes my priorities, in terms of using wordpress.

Do you also happen to know if there is a reason why javascript may not be used?

What I would love even more is (as the admin of my blog) to be able to tell who did the sharing. For example, I can see that 3 people clicked the Facebook share and 2 others clicked the Twitter share, but I don't see anywhere in any of the maintainance pages a means to determine which reader did these shares. Is it possible?
Thanks forum peoples. You're awesome.
Unless you don't answer this. Then your just ok.
