Blogging is a great way of people to express their opinions and beliefs to a wide audience easily. A persons blog could be read by hundreds, thousands, or even millions of people on the web. That being said, some things need to be kept to one's self or the few people who saw it. Blogging about how you tied someone to a flagpole and beat them with a rubber hose is not something you should post. Besides the fact that you are admitting to a criminal act, you are also talking about things that can effect the rest of your life. Potential employers have started to research the internet on applicants and finding things you can only imagine. Blog posts,Facebook, and Twitter are just a few of the places they look to see how applicants spend their time not at work and if they talk outside of class about their current job. Even if your boss is an old bald guy who needs to braid the hairs coming out of his nose, it's probably not in your best interest to post that on a social network site where anyone can see it. Not only could it be another employee who is looking for a reason to nark out anyone who may stand in their way of a promotion it could also be your boss or even someone who knows his cousin that is reading it. A good question to ask yourself, before you hit the post button on any social network site, is would my mom be emberassed to read this? If the answer is yes, then you might want to think twice about letting the entire world know about it. Though it is therapeudic to vent about a situation that you are frustrated about or fun to rehash about the night before and how Jim Bob woke up with a horse in his bed it is not in your or his best interest to tell everyone else about it.
