A few rules which are useful for blogs: (1) Don't write about things which are only pertinent to your own life. I hate reading personal blogs where people write "he said she said...", and I'm thinking, "Why do I care?" (2) Don't write about personal things AND tell your friends/coworkers about the existence of your blog. Do one or the other. Not both. I do occasionally write in a blog, but when I write about anything in my personal life, it always contains an application to / observation about the larger common world which other people (even total strangers) can think about. And, I don't tell people I know about the existence of the blog. Why not? Because if I know certain other people are reading it, then I have to tiptoe through certain subjects (or face the consequences). The end result is that you either (1) don't write about the situation at all, or (2) lie about your true feelings. (Case in point: the previously mentioned situation where the blogger wrote about his boss.) ------------------------------------------ "Isn't it funny how people say they'll never grow up to be their parents, then one day they look in the mirror and they're moving aircraft carriers into the Gulf region?" - The Onion
