Having an identity in the blogosphere is to have a visual  profile that lets people know you and your work through your blog.

Your readers know who you are and what you do?

The blogosphere is common to find blogs without identifying the author or any information you give more details about who writes them. However, this identification is important to make public the authorship of the work done on a blog.

THE ADVANTAGES OF KNOWING THE AUTHOR OF A BLOG
