Bad news about this blog

Much bad news this week. Our Library doesn't allow staff to create or write blogs, however we can read them and post to them. This is in part due to regulations that state that any staff produced information must be housed on city computers. This is to avoid the possibility of someone hacking into our library's MySpace page, or our library's Learning 2.0 blog and putting up child pornography or something. If that were to happen we would have a history on our own computers showing that our site never had that kind of information and we wouldn't be dragged through quite as much mud. After yesterday's discussion with my boss, I believe that even this "under the radar" blog is in violation of this kind of policy.

In my defense I've tried hard not to brand this blog with my employer's logo or name, I've made it non-searchable so only those that know the URL can find it, and I've only posted to it off city time. However I'm sorry to say I think I'm going to have to bring this blog to an end.

I know there are only a few of you who subscribe to this blog and I'd like to thank you for your encouragement and energy. Library employees; you have access to it on Staff Source; for the others who are interested I'll keep you on my email list for postings.
