I personally wouldn't, but everybody has to decide for themselves.

I at least know a few companies that would avoid hiring people who criticize old employers, afraid they will be next. I mean, most companies have at least some "skeletons in the closet" of bad practices or what not.

Having said that I'm usually brutally honest in job interviews, I see it as my way of screening companies, if they don't want the honest me, then I would probably not fit the company culture anyway. So there might be nothing wrong with having an honest blog in the end, maybe you receive less offers, but the offers match you more.

I would imagine that the how makes a big difference. Publicly on a blog vs privately in an interview is one aspect of that. And your tone: matter of factly stating problems vs agitated ranting.
it's often more fun to read the agitated ranting
