My oldest has been asking me for a blog. Finally we create one.
Benefits of a family blog:
the link has more details. the-benefits-of-blogging-for-kids/
- a creative outlet for the whole family: writing, photography, art, crafts, projects, etc.
- share updates with family and friends
- a digital center for contents we create
Requirements for blog platform: I picked wordpress.com
- safe
- kids friendly, mom friendly to edit and post
- can be viewed from China (we have family there)
After research and test a few websites with friend in China, I picked wordpress.com as the platform.
Guiding rules with my kids:
- Privacy and safety: no personal identifying info, no face pictures, etc.
- Topics: pets, toys, things we like, places we visit, art, writing, poem we create, how-to
- Only post things will glorify God and benefit people
