It is important that our children are as safe as possible inside, as well as outside of our home. They need to be aware of the possible dangers and how to conduct themselves on the Internet as well as when crossing roads, playing in the park, at school or out in the big wide world in general.
Before allowing my daughter to create her own blog I wanted to find out as much as possible myself first to enable my husband & I to make an informed and sensible decision. I always find I learn new things more easily by trying them for myself...hence the reason for creating MY OWN BLOG!
I have satisfied myself that there are PRIVACY SETTINGS available as well as applying some common sense rules:
NO PERSONAL PICTURES
NO REAL NAMES
NO CONTACT DETAILS
GOOD MANNERS ONLY
So unless you are already one of my elite group of friends or family I'm afraid my true identity must remain a mystery...!
All that remains for me to ask about blogs is...WHY?? The more thought I have given the matter, the more I have found myself wondering at the vast amount of information the must be floating around out there...does anyone really read it?!
So the second reason for my blog is just that...it is currently only available to people I invite...once I've got the hang of the whole thing I will make it PUBLIC to find out whether anyone else out there is in the least bit interested in my ramblings about my happy but ordinary life....

ReplyDeleteThanks - glad you like it - I'm pretty proud of myself as 2 days ago I didn't know the first thing about BLOGS now I've actaully managed to make one (...with a little guidance from Joel!)
ReplyDeleteYes Tomsk - you are just one of my first guests, I wanted to see what you think before I invite anyone else!
ReplyDeleteWow, I have to say I'm very impressed!It looks like it would have taken days to do. You should definitely get more of your work on here. Have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteI just clicked to become a 'follower', and it said that I'm now a fan of Ginger Mum, I'll be expecting an autograph!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much - you can only be one of 2 or 3 people but my rules about no real names makes this one tricky - email me or post another comment with a cryptic clue please 'Robbo' - otherwise if you are not one of my invited guests please also let me know as I am checking out secrity before make a final decision re my daughter having her own blog!
