If you are an "at will employee" (no contract) you can be
fired for any or no reason at all.

If you have a contract that runs for a certain amount of
time you can sue for breach of contract and see what happens
in court. Disloyalty is probably grounds for termination
under most employment contracts. Whether your employer will
be able to introduce evidence of disloyalty by introducing
evidence obtained from an "invited user only" website is a
question for the court to decide. If the site required a
password to enter and the employer committed fraud by
obtaining an unauthorized password then you might have a
case. If someone with legitimate access to your site (blog)
gave a copy of your posting to your employer -- your
probably not going to be able to keep it out of evidence.
