Blogging Under a Pseudonym

Hey all,
I'd like to start a blog, but I'm worried that what I've got to say might interfere with future employment in my field. So, I'd like to write under a pseudonym. What steps should I take to ensure maximum separation from anything with my legal name on it? I'll be using Blogger.
Thanks for any help!

That should pretty much put you in the clear, though if it became a legal matter and the courts got involved...they could demand your IP address from Blogger and it could be tracked to your home internet connection. But nobody should do that unless you start talking about specific companies and individuals and they come to the attention of said company.
If you just don't want it to be tracked back to you when a future employer looks you up online, that should do it.
