Blog RULES

Here are some basic rules to follow in order to successfully blog:

1. Only use your first name and last INITIAL…you don’t       want any cyberstalkers!

     Parents who leave comments are asked not to use last names either.                            (Please post comments as “Jimmy’s S. mom” or “Maria’s M. dad”, etc.)

2. Don’t write about other people without permission.

3. Always make sure what you are writing is factual.
      Don't be posting about things that aren't true. 

4. Make sure your posts and comments are appropriate.

5. Always write in full sentences and words – 

    no “text talk” please!

6. You MUST follow all rules of conventions (spelling 
    and grammar).

7. Keep it education-oriented. That means that you  

    probably shouldn't discuss your plans for the weekend.

8. Use common sense!  If you feel that I would not 

    approve of what you post, then DON’T POST IT!
