It's nice ...
I like having a blog, it's pretty much a diary, but it's online. I can choose what entries I make public so if I ever chose to put something private out there, it'd be for my eyes only. I also like that people can comment on what I put public, sometimes they might have good advice. That being said, watch what you make public, or some serious drama can errupt.

Wish I Could keep one...
I think it's pretty cool to keep a blog, but whenever I try starting one I forget to keep updating... xD

Just be careful
Blogs are awesome. They let you express yourself and your opinion to an audience of anywhere from 0 to a billion people. And if you join a blogging community like Wordpress, you can discuss your ideas with your commenters. Just make sure you don't put your last name (or any identifying information) on it, or the last names of any of the people you mention. I ranted about this kid from my school in one of my entries, talking about how annoying he was and everything, and HE FOUND IT! (I guess he was searching his name; if I hadn't put his last name he wouldn't have gotten to it.) Common sense, I know, but I paid the price. Haha.

although you have to be safe as with any aspect of the internet, It's a great way to communicate to friends and also maybe even help ppl you don't even know! because i've read some blogs and been like yeah i know exactly what their talking about! if you would like to check out my blog it's lalarandomness.blogspot .com without the space at .com cuz it wouldn't let me post it otherwise.

Express Yourself..
Having a blog really helps for you to open up and show how you feel about things going on in our world. You can talk about anything, and keep it private or public for others to express their opinions as well. I've always had some sort of blog going on, and believe me, it's hard to keep up with, but just writing your feelings out once a week can let out frustration. :] I say, if you have one, keep up the great work, and if you don't, you should try it. Especially under stress.

Why not?
Some people have really informative blogs about worldly issues such as Darfur, presidential candidates, and other important issues. I think it's incredibly annoying when people post things about their personal lives, such as breaking their toe. Or anything similar to that.

yes!!
me and my friends share one called Momo Peeps, and with several of the group at different schools it's a good way to stay in touch.

Yes, but be cautious.
Blogs are great for so many purposes and there are many good reasons to use one. Just watch out for who's reading your blog. If you don't know what your blog settings are, you should find out. Your blog could be public and you might not know it. Some of the other settings allow only your friends to read it or you can keep it to yourself. You usually can also change settings for a specific post only.

LOVE IT!
I love having a blog. it's like a diary where you can pour your feelings. Hear others opinions without revealing who you are. :)

dig dig DIG!
Blogs rock! I used to have one that I updated every week and it's a totally great way to relive fun memories. Also, blogs are the best place to rant on the "injustice of it all" when you're having a bad day ;) it really soaks up all that frustration!

A fun way to share your life
It's a fun way to share your life with everyone, just you really have to be careful how much you share.

i am a little too scared to put my feelings out there.
--Posted by gurlstaff_afinc




I can't stand blogs, theres no way the whole world needs to know what you had for lunch and how it made you feel.(I'm trying to say, some info is best kept to yourself)
--Posted by pinkfuzzies09



They are so stupid!
I hate them! It's like, God, nobody cares how 'deep' and 'misunderstood' some presumptuous teenager is. People who have blogs aren't really THAT interesting. Come on!
--Posted by kamikazziphantom




not for me.
I've tried keeping one, but I'd rather keep an offline diary. You cant trust the internet. ever. nothing's ever private.
--Posted by xogolden_08




don't care for them
personally, i don't think that having a blog is a good thing. its okay to share your feelings but you shouldn't put them on the internet like that. you can't trust people on the interent.
