Want to encourage your children to blog in a safe environment? Not excited about the ilk that hangs out at places like MySpace? As a home school dad, I have my 12 year-old and soon my 10 year-old blogging using Tumblr. Check out Gloriana’s Bookblog for a real-life example. To enable comments, I used a customized template and inserted a link to a Haloscan comment account. When setting-up the account in Haloscan, choose the last install option for “None of the Above/Manual” to retrieve the snippit of code to drop just below the post in Tumblr. Set the comment notifications to come to you in the email setting. Last thing to do is use Google Analytics to track the traffic. Nothing will get your kids writing like comments and traffic. Heck, their no different from us.
