If It's Posted Online - Then People Can Find and See It
Bloggers often consider posts to be private, and it is possible to password protect a blog. Anything posted online can, however, become public fodder. Even if you write over a page with new material, the cache is still there. You can visit the Way Back Machine and find the old content that many thought had gone POOF when they made changes to their online content.
Teacher Suspended After Blogging About Students
In a recent case, a high school teacher has been suspended, because she blogged about her job and students.
Natalie Munroe did not use her last name on her blog, did not name the school, and she did not specifically name students; however, she has been put on leave with pay pending an investigation concerning her blog.
Alexandra Petri checks in on this story and also mentions Nir Rosen (who resigned his NYU job after tweeting inappropriate comments) in What Happens Online . . .

If you don't want others to see it or read, then buy a paper journal and lock it up. Don't post things online that you don't want others to see.
