I've started a blog! Anyone else?

welly- if you blog you can edit your settings so that you moderate all comments posted before they are published to the blog. That would prevent any nasty issues occuring x

Have also set up a FB work page (Lynda's Childminding Service if anyone wants to follow me ) and my blog feeds on to that every time I update, which is great for local advertising too

Hi, You've all inspired me to do one, but I think mine will be a mixture of what my own kids get up to, the animals that live with us and my veg patch!

When you've done blogs, did most of your parents allow pictures to be taken or was it only pictures from the back so you can't see their faces?

Thanks

[miss mopple]

Mine is a little bit of famnily stuff to- it's all kids related and the parents like to read. Gives them an insight into me a bit more I think.

I have permissions for photos for all the children, and a separate permission for my fb page, stating clearly that the blog links to it and so far all the parents are happy with it.

I've got photo permission. Suppose I'd better write a seperate one for photos to be hosted on the internet. I had no idea these blogspots were free or so easy to set up.
Wish I'd done one years ago

[miss mopple]

make sure you share the link when you've set it up

Oooh sounds interesting. Think I might have a look

Lynda, how do you get it to feed into Facebook? I always just post on my Facebook business page when I update the blog.

Sorry, will be sensible now

I think if you go onto your fb page as admin, then type 'notes' in the search bar and click on it you get an 'import settings option on left. Click on that and you can enter the url of your blog and it updates after you update the blog. Sometimes it takes a while though-usually within 3hrs but my last update took 24 hrs, so I gave up waiting and hit the 'share to fb' button under the blog post itself instead.

Thanks, it is broke at the moment though, it is bringing up an error message.

how do you follow a blog I am thinking of doing my own ekkk! but won't start it up until after my exams in june (stress)

[alison]

The photos are really good, it makes wonderful and inspiring reading, well done! Lucky mindies!

[miss mopple]

Thanks alison

ruby- on my blog there is a 'follow with google' button. Click on that and if you have a google account (if not you can set one up for free easily ) you can follow it that way. All blogs you follow will appear on your google dashboard, which can be found if you click on the blogger tab (under 'more' on the google web page)

[miss mopple]

Have also just added an option to subscribe by email for anyone wanting to follow that way
