- Don't give personal information!If you use names, use only first names or even aliases, never first and last. Don't post addresses, phone numbers, names of friends or relatives, birthdate, or screen names. Don't EVER meet someone you meet online. And don't reply to crude, mean, or inappropriate things that may pop up on your blog. And if inappropriate things come up, make sure that can't happen again.
- Be careful of the pictures you post of yourself and of others. Be careful that pictures don't reveal too much physically or any of the things from rule number one. Pictures speak a thousand words so be careful. Make sure that pictures posted are appropriate and are in accordance with school rules.
- Things that go on to the internet are most likely permanent. Even if you delete a blog or a post, it may still be accessible. Blogs and pictures posted can easily be printed and reposted.
- Use blogging sites that have clear user standards for use. These sites will be protected by a username and password. Even if a blog is private, it could potentially be hacked into. So be careful about information you give out concerning your username and password and what goes on to the blog.
- Don't use blogs to be negative or to hurt someone else. Keep them positive and upbeat. Use blocks to make sure only allowed users and comment. You can't control what other people will put on your blog for comments, but you can control who can comment.
