When you speed you know you might get caught and you know you're breaking the law. If you get caught, don't whine about it - learn from it...if only not to speed in that area again. :) As long as a blogger is posting what is passionate to them (and is open to criticism, willing to admit they might be wrong) a blogger will have few regrets because they did their best, and followered what was in their heart. I'm glad you learned from this but the truth is - you needed to go through this if you were going to write about corporate blogging. Your experience will guide people down the right path...a more realistic path. By golly I’ve think you’ve got it! :)

It doesn't matter if you are right or wrong, if you get fired for it you are still fired. Before you post about something funny/horrible/stupid that happened at work today think about the ramifications. Your blog is a public forum and is no different than if you appeared on the local news and told the same story you are writing about. Ask yourself if you would tell that story on the news. Don't work and blog. Here’s something I wrote on the same subject:
