Internet Use
There are many things that I use the internet for. One of the main reasons I use the internet is to look on our school’s homepage for the assignments my teachers post for my classes. Even if they do not tell us the homework it is always on the homepage for us to look. I also go onto the internet for leisure, for example, I go onto my favorite team’s website such as the New York Giants on NFL.com. I also go to my favorite baseball team’s website, New York Yankees.com. One of my favorite leisure websites is apple.com, I like to look there to see what Steve Jobs has come out with, if it is my birthday I also like to look there to see if I like anything. I also like to use the internet for games if I am bored. Another one of my favorite websites to go to is you tube, you tube is very funny and can also be used to see stunning video of sports feats, as well as others. I also like to go onto news sites such as CNN.com and nytimes.com. These sites are very helpful because they show all of the news that is currently happening today, such as the recent Wall Street crisis. These news sites also show the recent sports news such as teams winning and losing. The internet is a great place for many reasons, it is great for information, leisure, and almost anything

Safe Blogging
Certain blogging rules are to only use first names, never say last names. I believe that this is a very important rule, because if a person’s last name is used other unknown people can look them up on certain sites and find their different accounts. Another important rule is to not plagiarize other blogs and groups because this could start a fight online that could last for a very long time. This could get you into bad trouble offline. One very important rule is to never mention meeting places on your blog or anywhere on the internet. Even if it is with your friends because someone you don’t know could see it and come to try to meet you or hurt you. You also should not spam because you could send out a very bad virus and it could be traced back to you, and you could get in serious trouble. Never put down your address or home phone number, you can be harassed if someone has your number or address, worse people can come to your house. Never write something very bad, it is never really gone from the internet, when you go for a job, your employer may see it on the internet.
