Pro Blogger Darren Rowse shares some insight on how to protect yourself personally while maintaining a public blog.

While I ve seen a number of articles in recent times about how to keep your blog safe and secure from hacking and accidental loss - it s also worth considering how to keep yourself (and those you live with) safe and secure also. When you write in a public forum you are doing so with the hope that people will read you. The unfortunate side of this is that you have little control over the perceptions of others towards you and that from time to time people will disagree with you and even become agitated towards you. This is both one of blogging s biggest strengths (ie the conversation, diversity and dialogue) but also one of it s biggest weaknesses when it goes to far.
