Blogging tips from the one and only...

Hello everyone! I am going to write a little bit about blogging and hopefuly give you some new information. When blogging, there are 3 important questions:

What does appropriate blogging look like?
Who is the audience reading your blog?
How much information do you want to share with that audience?

Appropriate blogging means APPROPRIATE! Everyone can see this! You really have to think about what you are writing when you make a new post. This really brings me into the second question... EVERYONE and ANYONE can read your blog! Your grandmother, family, parents, children, teachers...INFINITY! You need to be aware of that! People read differently. The way you read is going to be different from me, your cousins, friends and so on... you are UNIQUE. Also, be VERY aware of what information you are giving out. This is super important because sometimes information can slip without you meaning it to. Mistakes happen! But make sure that you don't run around screaming "I LIVE IN COCO LAND ON 58TH STREET! I AM THE BLUE AND ORANGE HOUSE TO THE LEFT OF THE GREEN POLKA-DOTTED ONE!" (If that is where you live. Also, Coco land was the first thing that came to mind!) So someone could find this 'Coco Land' and track you down. That could be really dangerous for you so be aware. I am not saying that I'm an expert on this stuff because I'm not. But in Humanities today we had a big discussion about it. I am new to this stuff too! Just be careful. (Wow! I sound so old in this post... but I will NOT reveal my age. I will tell you though, that I am in Middle School...)
