Week Two Thing 1 -- set up your own blog

Blogger was very easy to use.  I've used Wordpress and I think I prefer Blogger.  I would love to show my kids how to use it; I think they would enjoy writing on a blog, but part of me thinks it is either too risky (because of safety or just hurt feelings when people comment on their blogs) or too artificial (if you put so many protections on the blog that no one is truly reading or commenting on it).  

It's a whole new world for parents and librarians and we have to make individual judgments as best we can.
