How to blog safely about work - and other things...

Given that a blogger was fired in the last week for blogging about work I thought it may be a good idea to put some stuff on here about how people can blog about work (or anything else for that matter) and not get into trouble, or at least reduce the risks somewhat.

The information also covers those who do not blog anonymously. I'll start though with the statistics on fired bloggers.

If you have any links I could add to this then please let me know.

Finally, here is a link to what I've been led to believe are 'mil blogs' or 'soldier blogs' - a phenomenon where soldiers have created an on-line community and an audience made up of mainly non-military people.

Mil or soldier blogs of USA origin

Some quick examples:

American soldier
Adventures in Afganistan
When last we left our intrepid heroine...

If anyone knows of a list of British mil blogs then please let me know. Blogs of soldiers of other nation-states would be welcome too.
