What is a blog?

 A blog is a website that is an online journal/diary. Your blog can be anything you want it to be, it can provide a commentary of a certain area of interest, it’s somewhere to share your news, opinions and information just like a diary - but people can see it online, which means you can share it with others (friends/family etc) so they can keep up to date with you – so don’t keep your most private secrets on it!!

Step 1
Before you start, you may wish to think about what content you want to put in your blog, think of what you want to call it and then click here.

Step 2
Work through the online forms and click on continue at the end of each section if you are happy with the terms and conditions. Eventually you will be taken to the section that allows you to post your own blog.

Step 3
Get creative! Then post your blog.

Step 4 (optional)
To make your website a bit more interactive and exciting you can set up a "Bloggers Comments" option, this allows readers of your blog from all over the world to give their feedback. You can also add your own photos.

If you have a Myspace website, there is a blog option within that. Click “Manage Blog” you can then “Post a blog”.

Please remember! Do not put personal details on this site (address, phone number etc) you should select an option to withhold your email address until you wish to share it with someone privately.
