Anybody have suggestions on blogging about computer forensics?
Thanks

Greetings,
I've been on the fence about doing this. My major concern is that anything you write on the 'net can come back to haunt you in court. The flip side is that the marketing value of running a good blog site can lead to new engagements and a solid reputation.
That said, I'd just start writing. Build up a list of N topics you want to write on and get most of them fleshed out. Then, when you have a slow week, you have some material to fall back on.
Try to write somewhat regularly so people get in the habit of reading your site.
Read the other sites for topic and style tips. If you work off of someone else's blog, by all means give them credit.
Go to conventions and meet with other bloggers.
Get someone to review your posts before putting them up.

As long as you blog facts and not opinions, fewer things can haunt you later. Your opinion can change much easier than a fact, and your opinion can be wrong if you were given a shaky foundation of information to base it upon.
Facts can change, given newer or more accurate information, but for the most part, facts are facts (or more accurately, the data is what the data is).
However, looking back at my first sentence, it seems that blogs are more about opinions than facts, or at least, facts intermingled with opinions. Blogging opinions and hoping you don't get misquoted is kinda like walking on an iced over lake. If you don't try, you wont fall in. But if you do try, tread gently.
