It is indeed ridiculous, you should belatedly celebrate your blog's anniversary (if so inclined) and continue on blogging (in the free world...). One has to accept that running a blog allows interviewers to learn a lot more about you than other candidates. This ought to be in your favour. Some of the reasons for feeling unease at hiring a blogger are fair though. Any comments that might offend 'polite society' should not be expected to be beyond reproach just because it appears on a blog. So long as one is responsible for the content, what can go wrong? Best wishes,
