Chartership and cpd23

Q: why am I resurrecting this corpse?
A: I've been a librarian in London public libraries for a few years and have decided to work towards Chartership.

For those of you outside the U.K., Chartership is a professional qualification earned by practicing librarians. Chartership used to be a ticket to the big bucks, but as jobs are de-professionalizing and operational areas merging it is more about the activity than a financial payoff.  Blogging is one approach to the reflective writing requirement of Chartership and also the first task in the online course 23 Things for Professional Development that I've begun.

I have some questions about blogging
1. Can I write interestingly and analytically about my library life without causing trouble?
2. Isn't blogging old-fashioned?

The corpse is re-animated and will move in an unpredictable fashion. Next time: anecdotes about author events

The causing trouble part is what worries me too :/
