I am in the same boat. I fear the day I may get asked to take my blog down or fight me for rights to the content. I think the difficult piece is what your content actually is and if it can be considered intellectual property of your employer. In my case, I would say its 50/50.

Hi guys, I really enjoy blogging on my own personal site about my experiences with System Center and PowerShell. My company is beginning to spin up a blog of their own, and I'm anticipating a time in which they'd want to use my content on their site. The thing is that I really enjoy having my own personal blog and having my own independence in that regard. Do any of you guys blog? What does your employer think of it? Have you been asked not to write about something before? I always leave my clients names and info out of my posts, and am VERY careful not to give away any of the 'secret sauce' that people may approach my company for. Still, I'm always a bit afraid someone will ask me to shut it down. I never signed an NDA or gave away my IP rights to my work-history, experiences, or code, however.
