WELCOME

Welcome to Childnet’s Blogsafety website which gives information about blogging and social networking and serves as a gateway to the much larger www.blogsafety.com website which Childnet supports. 

On this website you will find useful information on how to get the most out of using blogs and learn about how to use the new social networking websites safely and positively. On this site there is important information for parents, educators, industry and of course children and young people.

Blogging is part of a social and technological revolution that some people are calling Web 2.0. What’s different about it is the ease with which anyone can produce and distribute their own content and link with like minded sites to create a very powerful network for sharing ideas and influence opinion. Young people especially love this new environment because they can have a powerful voice to express their identity and opinions. However there are safety issues to consider for both young users, parents, industry and education.
