To Blog or Not to Blog, That is the Question.

NOOO this post is not about me quitting blogging! Something is on my mind, and I am looking for some feedback. Humor me.

Here we go - I recently ran across a blog post of someone I only sort-of know. A friend of a friend of a cousin of a friend kind of thing. She had a couple of really long blog posts where she was recounting entire conversations with her ex-husband, and basically slamming him, big time. Now I do grant that the guy seems totally slam-worthy, but still. I was cringing a bit as I read it, and not because of the content, but because it seemed completely inappropriate for the web. Private, only-tell-your-mom-and-your-best-girlfriend stuff. Eat a crate of Cadbury Creme Eggs and get over it kind of stuff.

My question here is this: Is it OK to spill your entire life on a blog? Might that come back to bite you in the future? It just doesn't seem very smart to me, but hey - I am open to opinions.

Your thoughts?
