Is it libel if it's true?

After being harassed by someone who owes me money that I was in a relationship with, I built a website that told the whole story - a blog of sorts.

The website has a photo of this person, and tells the whole story - I also list several of our email exchanges and chat sessions. My question is, if everything I say about the man is true, can I be sued for libel? If I sanitize the site so that none of his personal information or photo appears, am I still culpable?

While truth is a defense in a libel case, publishing photos and facts of the private life of a person still can be an unlawful invasion of privacy and therefore expose the person who publishes it to liability.
 
As long as you censor out his face and his email address from the site then you cannot be charged with libel.
