I am torn as to if I should tie my astrobio bloggery to my professional identity. Primarily because such bloggery is known here and in one or two other online spaces in which I also occasionally piss people off.
I would recommend against it.
"I hope you know that this will go down on your permanent record" :-/
What are your reasons for wanting to link now? E.g. do you hope to be seen as broad thinking. Or do you want to pull traffic both ways?
You can also try semi-linking: Add the other blog prominently in the blogroll.
In general I think the likely benefits from the linked identities will outweigh the costs. Being known is often better than being unknown even if the reason for which you known isn't super-special.
But he can link the indentities later. Unlinking on the other hand...
do it.
or don't. make a new lw account to do it?
