IMPORTANT NOTES  
1.      Your blog is part of your English assessment, therefore you should write using correct spelling, punctuation and proper sentences.
2.      It is solely for English work, not personal stuff.  Do not reveal private information.
3.      When you publish your work, it goes straight onto the internet.
4.      Sometimes people comment on your blog posts, so check your Comments section under each post.  Anyone in the world can read your blog.
5.      You can write comments on other people’s blogs as well.  Try to be helpful with your comments.  It is NOT a chatroom or msn etc.
