Read EFF's Legal Guide for Bloggers

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has added a section on labor law to its Legal Guide for Bloggers first published last month.

Whenever there’s talk about blogging horror stories, inevitably the conversation turns to people getting fired for blogging. What kinds of things can your boss fire you for? Aren’t there laws to protect you for whistle-blogging about the rotten things your company is doing to the environment? If you use your work computer to blog, does your employer have the right to monitor you? What about if you’re working from home, using your own laptop? — Electronic Frontier Foundation

If you are blogging in the U.S., this is required reading to ensure that you remain within the law, or at least know what may happen if you stray into the many gray areas.
