Blogging Tips and Guidelines:
Every time you add a new post, people from around the world can “see” what you have written! In order to make sure your posts are safe, respectable, and grammatically appropriate please follow the following guidelines:
Safety:- Don’t use your last name when writing a blog.
- Don’t give our ANY information about yourself, phone number, address, etc.
- Don’t be specific with your information. For example, say, “I like to play soccer,” not “I play soccer for the Webster Pirates.”
- Do not post pictures of anyone without their permission.
- Be considerate of others and their individual thoughts, don’t judge.
- When writing comments, don’t just say, “That’s great!” Take the time to read others thoughts and respond with a well written comment, such as, “I agree with you, I think we should be able to access the computer more.”
- Do not write comments that might be considered offensive by others. (Remember, your writings can be viewed by anyone in the world!!!)
- Use correct grammar and spelling.
- Use of abbreviations and shortcuts is not appropriate for a blog, save that for texting!
- Present yourself in a manner that will bring you and your family pride for what you’ve written.
