Many organisations are now having to consider how they deal with employees who blog about their work, and one of the most recent to take up the challenge is the Metropolitan Police.

The Met says it is not bringing in a ban on blogging

But new guidelines issued by the Met have caused some bloggers to wonder if their weblogs could cost them their jobs.

I wondered when they would start stamping on this. Bliar II must be fuming at the amount of blogs showing him up for what he is.

Speaking in a personal capacity, David Hockney, the UK Independence Party member of the MPA, said the blogs had been helpful in drawing his attention to confusion surrounding changes to drugs legislation.

"I learnt something quite important as an MPA member - we should be very careful not to just close down on information."

And that is in the end why many bloggers will continue in spite of the new rules.

For a minute I thought they meant Damian there! Good work DAVID!
