The rules are as follows — refer to the page Blogging Guidelines for more details.
1) Do not “bag out”, or speak badly of friends, parents, staff, the school etc….
2) Use your time wisely – class lessons are for completing classwork not other things.

3) Make your blog pretty but don’t go overboard – content and quality is more important than “pretty”
