Parent's guide to safe blogging




Dear parent,

Welcome to my daughter's Children's University blog. Hopefully it will inspire you to get your own child(ren) documenting their visits and activities.  But if you are like me, you will want to ensure that your child's blogging experience is safe.

This blog has been created over a period of four years, but I have only just made it public as initially it was a private record of my daughter's journey through CU. But the more I looked at it the more I thought it would be a valuable resource to share to spread the word about CU to other parents and children.

In case you have never used a blog before there are a couple of ways to navigate through the posts:

1. You can simply scroll down and you will see each post... The newest one is at the top of the page. When you reach the bottom click on Older Posts to see another batch of posts.

2. You can look at the right of the screen to see the dates in the blog archive, Click on the little arrow next to the date to see the months, click the next arrow to see the posts added in the year.

If you see something you like please feel free to add a comment. However, you won't see your comment added immediately as I have set it to moderate. That means I get to vet each comment made and add it as long as it is appropriate...... More about that in the guide.

The guide covers:
  • Creating a Google account
  • Creating a blog
  • Adding a post
  • Adding a photo
  • Setting your blog as private
  • Preventing your blog being searched for on Google search engines

Guide to using Google Blogger (To be added)
