Honesty Vs. Employment
I’ve been reading over the Wordpress docs and ran across some tips for having a blog. There was one excerpt which gave me pause for thought:
“Tempting as it might be, don’t hide your real emotions. After all that is what a blog is about. If you want, you can stay anonymous and voice your feelings on whatever you are passionate about. You might have strong views on various subjects but let your readers know your passion. What is passion worth if you can’t even share it? You’ll actually love the discussions it can lead to. The discussions will broaden your own thinking and you might end up making some really good friends. “
Thus far on my blog, I’ve skirted the issues, brushing across them nicely without ruffling too many feathers. I’d really like to cut into some issues, but there arises a problem when your employer has access to your blog or even when your parents read your blog. There are some things that could be taken into consideration when deciding to hire someone or continue to employ a person. I’m just not sure I want ALL my thoughts expressed on the blog.
That said, I want to write an intriguing and compelling blog but also would like to keep my job. Any thoughts on the issue?
