After having our dog for about 4 weeks now, things have changed in the house. We all love the dog to play with, but he, Toby, is more than that. He keeps us fit and forces us to go out side everyday, and sometimes many times a day… We have someone who’ll jump on our knees when we come home from school and give us an excuse to start our homework half and hour later. It was hard at first, but we’ve got used to it, and he’s got used to us.

Here are a few neat things I’ve found in the past little while.

20 Classic Hip Hop Album Covers Recreated in LEGO - I’ve built boats, cars, towers, Star Wars destroyers and about 99 other things with Lego. But not a recreation of Dr. Dre’s or Beastie Boys’s album covers. Someone has.

Sitonomy - I’m using Wordpress, which 44.4% of all blogs use. Another one of my site’s has the whos.amung.us widget, which 7.7% of all sites use. Cool, but how does this help me?

Blogging as a teenager isn’t too much different than if you were an adult, but being a teen blogger my self, I have a few tips.

Don’t turn on auto-approval of comments - If you’ve got a small blog or don’t get comments often your probably enjoy when you do get a comment. But being a teen, you’re targeted by not only stalkeres online, but also other real life peers who you may not be friends with you. I’ve had people from school post comments on my blog impersonating other kids or even teachers. With pre-moderation of comments, I would’ve been able to approve the comment and ban the IP before it gets posted. Totally up to you, but since these two incidents, I’ve deicded to turn auto-approval of comments off.

Double check - I’ve had times when I’ve been in a rush to finish a post and didn’t have time to double check it. I ended up checking it over later in the day or the next day and found tons of grammar and spelling errors. It may even be necessary to check it over with your parents. Not only does this prevent you from gaining a bad reputation for having errors in your posts, but it shows your parents you care about grammar and spelling.

Hope these two quick tips help any teen bloggers out there, and let me know any tips you have in the comments.
