Blogging is a great way to get your ideas out and be heard. It showcases your thoughts and opinions, allowing your followers to understand you more clearly, along with challenging them about topics posted for discussion. Although it is a great place to express ones ideas, safety precautions should be taken to enable a safe and friendly atmosphere.
Never offer any personal information including your last name, contact information, home address, phone numbers, school's name, e-mail address, last names of friends or relatives, instant messaging names, age, or birth date.
Never post provocative pictures of yourself or anyone else, and be sure any images you provide do not reveal any of the previously mentioned information. Always remember to look at the background of a picture too.
Assume what you publish on the Web is permanent. Anyone on the Internet can easily print out a blog or save it to a computer.
Use blogging provider sites with clearly stated terms of use, and make sure they can protect the actual blogs, not just the user accounts, with password protection. (Even so, it's better to assume anyone can see it.)
Avoid trying to "outdo" or compete with other bloggers.
Keep blogs positive and don't use them for slander or to attack others.
