Web Blogs

A blog is a user-generated website where entries are made in journal style and displayed in a reverse chronological order.  New blog tools can be password protected.

Examples:

Blogger, Blogware, and WordPress. See a comparison chart of blogs...

Stay Safe:

Here are some recommended rules from 2SMRT4U.COM that can help you as parents keep your children safer when they are web blogging:

• Don’t give out your password to anyone except your parent or guardian.
• Don’t post personal information on your blog.
• Don’t post photos of yourself on your blog.
• Report comments to the blog site provider if a person violates the rules.
• Tell your parent or guardian about anything that happens that made you feel scared or uncomfortable.
