I found this article quite interesting. I know lots of girls- both younger and older that blog. Some of them are quite safe when it comes to who is able to see their posts by having passwords that need to be entered. Others though aren’t as safe and I’m pretty sure that people they don’t want seeing their blog do. These are the risks that come with blogging however. You never know who is going to look at it and if you don’t want certain people looking at it you should just not do it in the first place. Although it’s great that these girls have good fashion taste and want to let other people know about it I think Tavi is a little young to be fashion blogging. Many social networking sites discourage children under 14 from joining these sites. I am a blogger on blogspot.com and myspace. Although on my myspace only my friends can see my blog my blogspot is a little bit different. I do however think I am taking a few precautions because I don’t say where I go to school or say my name much.
