a) I wouldn't use anything from your actual work environment. Setup a lab if you want to post screenshots. Using work equipment has myriad issues: legal ramifications for you is something goes wrong, or if an attacker is able to use this information to get access to your environment
b) If this is going to be available to others, then write professionally: what you write will be "out there" forever so to speak. At least, with a blog, you can update/change the content if there's an error. But if write like a 12 year old teen, then people will draw inferences from that. When you next go for a job or maybe get asked to contribute an article to a magazine, speak somewhere etc, people will google you, and your past efforts will come up :) c) Be prepared to be flooded with spam, inane requests and all sorts of things. I haven't put anything on my blog for years, yet people still think I'm a free IT resource. Most are polite, and get it if you can't help. Some are really weird and have some kind of entitlement mentality. Good luck Cheers Ken From: Jon D [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, 21 September 2012 12:27 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Personal IT Blog? I was kicking around the idea of starting a personal IT blog to keep track of the things I work on. Seems like if nothing else it would be a nice feather in the cap when it comes time to look for a new job. I'm curious if anyone else does this? If anyone does do it, anything to think about? Obviously any screenshots would need server names, IPs, etc blanked out.... ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
