Just as you've taught your kids to be safe surfers, you may want to educate them about blogging and set some ground rules — much like completing driving school before hitting the road solo. Here are a few suggestions to get started:
Establish rules for online use with your kids and be diligent.
Screen what your children plan to post before they post it. Seemingly innocuous information, such as a school mascot and town photo, could be put together to reveal where the author goes to school.
Be selective about the information you share in a blog. If you are uncomfortable knowing a stranger could see certain content, do not post it.
Evaluate the blogging service and find out if it offers private, password-protected blogs.
Save the web address of your child's blog and review it on a regular basis.
Check out other blogs to find positive examples for your kids to emulate.
