I am blogging my wifes pregnancy of our twins, it is a lot of fun, however, I have incountered some "critics" who think there is too much information posted. My feeling is on this: I think somethings are better left private and each family has it own measure, standard or filter for what is too much and what is private.
My wife and I struggled to get pregnant, and we needed help. In my blog I detailed the process of how we got pregnant in a educational (I think) sort of way. I did not discuss what goes on behind the closed doors, other than eludding to facts about the procedure that anyone can learn online at wedmd. So for the critics: if it is too much than don't read it, but hold your tongue unless your opinion is solicited.
on the position related information shareing, I think Tony has it right. If it is not pertinate to the story do produce it in writing. Like in a hospital, everything is on a need to know basis, privacy policies and HIPPA protect patient information so as a blogger you decide what the readers need to know. Maybe check out some of the guidelines hospitals use and the measures they take to insure privacy for their patients. It is a good system to use when giving any information anywhere.
