your writing is always yours... some literary journals, however, consider posting / publishing on your blog to be "published" and would not consider it for publication if they are requesting a piece that has not been published previously.

It really depends on your level of comfort in doing that sort of thing. For me I feel that some works are great to post online as a way to share your talent and build excitement in what your working on currently. As Jenn posted earlier it'll always be yours but you should be careful of where you post your work. If you're concerned about someone plagiarizing your hard work remember that in most cases at least legally you'd be covered but always go with you gut instinct. If you don't think your work is safe it probably isn't.

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. I thought the same way, I will post some to get an audience, well to at least get acknowledge from some.people. sometimes you need a second opinion on what you feel.

I blog on health-related topics as part of my business (it's a good way to answer common questions and keep content fresh on your website), but in general, I do not post any of my personal projects online because I don't believe there is anything to be gained from it.
I do, however, use my blog as a way to "warm up" my mind and get the thoughts flowing on slow days. Something about writing something, anything, helps me gain momentum for whatever project I am working on, and blogs, due to their informal nature, are a great outlet for those types of musings.
Hope this helps!
About
Welcome San Diego Writers!
Grab a cup of coffee, pull up a chair and stay awhile. Let's talk about writing.
Keep a few things in mind as you post here:
1. Posts are public.
This is a public forum and all posts are archived on the web. Bottom line, don't say anything here you wouldn't want everyone (and I mean EVERYONE: your mom, your little brother, your future employer) to see. Forever.
2. Be On Topic.
This is a group of writers. We're here to talk about writing, the creation of writing, the business of writing, events about writing. We are also a community of friends to some extent, which means that on occasion, non-writing topics will come up. Use the Start a New Discussion link if you want to change topics, and be sure to Title and Tag your post appropriately. That way your fellow writers will be able to scan the list of active discussions and see which ones are of interest.
3. Be Respectful.
Don't really foresee a problem here, but we gotta say it anyway. Disagreements are fine, but please please don't resort to personal insults and/or name calling. Mean people are not cool and harassment, intentionally inflammatory remarks, and bigotry will not be tolerated.
4. Privacy.
We'll respect yours. We won't give away or sell names, contact information, etc. Please do the same for your fellow community members.
5. SPAM. Don't.
6. Ads.
Part of the deal with using this wonderful, free online tool (ning.com) is that it has Ads running along the side. We can upgrade to a professional account, but it will cost $20 per month, so if it bothers you, be prepared to pony up.
