Safety in Blogging

When creating a blog, there are a number of things to remember in order to stay safe.

• Select an Age Appropriate Blog Website - When selecting a website to create your blog through, look for ones which other people your age are using. This way you will be able to contact people with similar interests.

• Read the Privacy Statement – Look to see if the website has a privacy statement. If it does, read it and take note of what may happen to any information you enter. If there is no privacy statement, look for another website to create your blog through.

• Look for Support – See if the blog website has good support. There should be a FAQ section as well as an email address that you can use to mail any problems to.

• Other Services – See what other services are available on the blog website. Do you want for instance, other people to contact or chat to you when you are blogging?

• Costs – Look to see if there are any costs involved with creating and maintaining your blog. You don't want any hidden surprises later on.
