Blog safely
It is very common for people to share thoughts and experiences on their blogs. Actually, blogs serve many functions.
People can write a daily diary and include funny pictures, videos and audio files. And some companies have discovered blogs are a good way to promote their goods and services by advertising on blog servers.
However, some people think writing a blog is unsafe because bloggers post their personal information. They might also post other people's personal information without asking for their permission.
Writing a blog has become a popular trend, but we have to learn how to do it properly. We don't want people abusing our personal information, so we have to be careful what we write.

From the Editor
Thank you for your informative letter, Mimi. Blogs are a wonderful tool to record the events of your lives - they can serve as a diary.
In a way we could think of them as an electronic diary that logs our thoughts and feelings. Blogs would make great reading for our children in the future.
You are right when you say some people might inadvertently give away too much information - it's always a good idea to have a careful read of what you write before you go live.
