The Wall Street Journal today tells you how to start a blog.

Also this article from Sunspot.net: “Weblogs finding a home in nation’s workplace.” The article notes the legal concerns of workplace blogs:

Christopher Wolf, a partner at the Washington law firm, Proskauer Rose, thinks the potential perils of workplace blogging are so great that he advises clients not to start them. “People are just more casual in the stuff they put on the Internet,” Wolf said. “Recording one’s thoughts can lead to problems for both the employer and the employee because it becomes readily available for all to see.”

My thoughts: workplace blogs are probably here to stay due to the many benefits they offer and legal experts should come up with good guidelines and helpful procedures for handling this very important tool.
