Blogging Safety: Tips and Solutions To Safe Blogging

Following are blogging safety measures that one can take, and also may teach their family members specially to little children for safe blogging experience.

No personal information to be given. As stated on chat safety rules that no personal information to be posted online. For safe blogging, one has to remain anonymous as much as possible. It means that no personal information such as first and last name, school name, sport team, city they are located at etc... to be given or posted online. Most of the blogs requires a screen name. One must create a screen name that does not reveal their identity.

Extra care to be taken before and during the posting of Photos and videos. It's a must to teach children that the pictures or videos that they post online are available for everyone to view, and it can be go to wrong hands - Online Predator. Therefore, in order to have a safe blogging experience, our children should consult us as their parents before posting pictures or videos, and if not, then they have to think hard before posting. They have to consider that the video or picture they are about to post is not suggestive in nature, and does not reveal their identity. Special care to be taken at the picture or video's backgrounds, they should not contain ones school name or the name of a playground, the license plate of the car, symbol or the name of ones favourites sports team, and yes the clothing - clothing must not reveal information that online predators can use to identify them. I know some of them items mentioned is overkill, but I like to remind that as much as safety precautions are taken better protected they will be.

Avoid in-person meetings. As I recommended on chat safety rules same rule applies for safe blogging. Children must be taught not to meet with someone they've come across via internet.

Never respond to harassing or rude comments posted on your profile. Some online predators or cyber bullies post comments on ones which are offensive or rude. Teach children to delete any unwanted messages and never respond to them at its the response that online predators are waiting for to devise their future strategy.

In addition to the above recommendations, sometimes or depending upon the nature of the problem parents may have no other options than block blogs. This can be done by using a internet filter software available in the market.

Parents should also observe and supervise children's internet activity by having a monitoring software or by having a parental control software that contains both internet filtering and monitoring capabilities.
