How can you blog even when your employer doesn’t allow you to

Feb 29, 2008 No Comments »

There are some companies that don’t allow you to blog while you are under their employment. Many people who want to blog don’t blog because their employers have a policy against creating and maintaining blogs. Employers have a reason: lots of confidential information is at stake and if employees start sharing that information on their blogs it can be very harmful to the business. Then of course there are some people who want to bitch about their colleagues on their blogs. There can be scores of other reasons.

But it doesn’t mean you keep your blogging aspirations curtailed. The simplest way is, start a blog that doesn’t reveal your true identity and work on your blog only when you are out of office. I know anonymous blogging is not very inspiring especially when you want to make it big in the blogging world some day.

The best way is to approach your employer and sign a nondisclosure agreement. This agreement will bind you legally not to discuss company matters and not to talk about your colleagues on your blog. You will also need to assure your employer that you won’t be working on your blog from the office and your blogging will in no way hamper your performance. Lots of people manage their blogs this way and their companies are okay with this. They mostly work on their blogs during after-office hours or during the weekends.

Introductory post

Blogging is a great uniting force so when I created the Indian blog directory I couldn’t resist creating a blog section for the directory. While inviting people to add their links to the directory it’s been my great privilege to see some very nice blogs, being published by Indians. Up till now I thought people in India maintained blogs only to propagate either their socio-political ideologies, or incessantly talk about what food they eat, what clothes they wear, where they go for holidays, what movie they saw last weekend. During the past few days I have been coming across blogs on practically every topic under the sun and I’m happy that I started this online directory of Indian blogs and all the blogs being maintained by Indians no matter where they are in the world.

I don’t have any fixed agenda for this blog. It will mainly contain links from other blogs; linking to posts that should get more exposure through this directory. Will also be inviting other bloggers to contribute here — they can even link to their own posts for that matter if they think that they should appear here. You can register here if you would like to write here.

There are still many features that need to be added or modified and I have got lots of other work to do so I will wrap up the small introductory post. I hope lots of great ideas will converge at this spot.
