It seems that everyone has a blog these days. But many people treat it like a game. In the first week, these online journals are full of useful commentaries and articles. But then they are neglected by the authors. Is a blog meant to be a diary? Or should it offer commentaries on various subjects, such as food, politics and local news? I'm not against people who treat their blogs as a dairy. But some of the content is so dull that I think it's a waste of time. Is a blog a dairy or a toy? I don't know. Kelvin Lee Kin-lap, The Chinese Foundation Secondary School From the Editor Thanks for your letter, Kelvin. A blog can be used to record anything - news, politics, views on fashion and film or simply what you ate for breakfast and what your best friend did last night. The beauty of blogs is that they can be so wide-ranging - and that anyone can get involved. While I think that the trend is exciting, and offers the opportunity for people to express themselves freely, it is worth remembering the obvious: anyone can read your blog. Sitting in your bedroom in front of your PC, it's easy to get carried away and forget that your parents, teachers, classmates and complete strangers can all have access to your blog if it's posted in a public space. Think twice about giving away too much personal information, there are some things that are worth saving for a private, face-to-face chat with a friend. Kate, Editor
