I was curious, with all the corporate noise regarding employees personal blogs - leaking sensitive information, and just generally being unproductive - do you blog, while at work?

I try to limit reading of non-work-related blogs to lunchtime. Work-related blogs I'll read when I'm building or waiting for something. Occasionally I have blogged about some technical issue I'm having at work, but usually I write blog posts at home.
I can see an argument for blocking blogs due to productivity concerns (though sometimes if you're looking for a solution to a problem, the answer will be something somebody blogged, and it would be bad to block access to useful information like that). But leaking company information? That seems silly to me. You can leak information just as easily at home. Either trust your employees, or fire them and find ones you can trust. If you can't trust anyone, then you have issues. :)
