Establish rules for online use with your kids and be diligent. Screen what your kids plan to post before they post it. Seemingly innocuous information, such as a school mascot and town photo, could be put together to reveal where the author goes to school. Ask yourself (and instruct your kids to do the same) if you are you comfortable showing any of the content to a stranger. If in doubt, have them take it out. Evaluate the blogging service and find out if it offers private, password-protected blogs. Save the web address of your child's blog and review it on a regular basis. Check out other blogs to find positive examples for your kids to emulate.
