There is, perhaps, a middle course: to be out in the world enough to be toughened,
but to have a shelter sufficient to stave off callousness and wretchedness."
- William T. Vollmann
Work-related Blogs and News by James Richards contains a useful selection of posts about the pitfalls and possibilities of blogging, both from the perspective of the employer and employee.
Richards also includes a list of links to blogs by occupational category. Here, you can find a collection of blogs by people who are currently employed, as well as some links to blogs by those who may have been fired for blogging.
Take a look at this item about how to blog safely at work, which has a link to some statistics on fired bloggers.
Richards raises the interesting argument that "off-duty blogging by employees can play an important role in helping reverse [the] decline in social isolation, but that current legal structures impede this goal." This post can be found here.
