Pseudo-pseudonymous no more

I've used "Austin Contrarian" as both the name of this blog and my nom de plume since I began blogging almost two years ago.  I've never been after anonymity; anyone could have clicked on the "about me" link at any time and seen that this blog was written by Chris Bradford. 

No, it has always been a Google issue.  I'm in an adversarial business, and there are plenty of lawyers who Google their opposite.  Why, I thought, should I make it easier for them?

Well, screw 'em.  I've written about 250 entries; I may have gotten things wrong from time to time, but I haven't written anything that I regret. 

A blogger is more credible when he uses his or her name.  So I intend to start using mine.  I will not re-name this blog.  And to avoid confusion and maintain some continuity, I'll continue posting my comments here (and elsewhere) using the "AC" handle.  But I'm adding my name to the banner and at the end of my entries. 

Thanks for reading.

Taking a cue from the Fire Joe Morgan guys?

AC, I often disagree with your writing, but your coverage of local issues and your passion for your beliefs are *magnetic* regardless of my personal feelings... therefore, you've lived in my feed reader for a long time and will continue to live there; your success is independent of your name, so either way- BRAVO!
