You see, anonymity and non-anonymity is a possible extraneous variable that I thought I could control. So I tried to look for participants that do not blog anonymously, that is to say, they reveal their real names on their blogs. However, I've found it so frustrating and almost impossible to find enough participants. Some simply do not respond to my invitation. Some must've fallen off the face of the earth. Add to this my stipulation that they should have been blogging for at least 2 years now. Quite a stringent list of requirements, as I'm discovering.

So, I had to add a whole 'nother discussion about anonymity and non-anonymity in my review of related literature. While that took about an afternoon, I guess I resented the additional work. Anyway, now that I've surmounted that obstacle, time to look for participants anew. Again, they have to be female (thanks to my panel's suggestion), aged 13-20 or 21-25 years old, and Filipino.
