Question about blogs . . . .?

Question

I'm asking this here for a reason, so no griping at me please.

I've been considering posting a link to my "real" blog on my 360 page. So far, I haven't done it because I have personal information on my real blog (like where I work), but I've never stated my name or posted my picture on either blog.

Do you think there is any true safety concern?

(For more info on this, or if you are a contact of mine and are willing to answer a poll on this, please visit my 360 page, if you are so inclined. Thank you.)

I do talk about work on my blog, but I'm one of those people that holds this philosophy:

If I say something about someone publicly in any forum, I'll say it to their face as well. If I get fired for what I do in my personal time, I'm suing the company. Great points; however, I've spent a lot of time thinking about that. I do talk about students, but I don't share their names. And I've openly criticized the Dean, but if I was put in a situation where he read what I wrote, I'd proudly look at him in the face and say it again.

I'm kind of a jerk that way. :D

lol, rune.

I'm really not easily embarrassed. If I put that kind of stuff on my already public blog, I'm not worried about anyone reading it. (And I do put that on there!)

Answer 1

I'm not sure this is a safety issue but:

Do you talk about work on your blog?
Can a co-worker find your blog from your 360?
If a co-worker saw your blog, can he/she deduce that it's you?
Will it change your relationship with your co-workers if they see your blog?

Answer 2

I won't do it. I personally have no real fears - I'm not one of those who stir up controversy. But my motto is better safe than sorry.

Besides that, if I want to say something embarrassing I don't want people who get bored and google me to come across it.

EDIT: I was talking more about discussing things like wart removal (for example!), lol. But the next person has very good points too.
