Many popular websites now offer free, easy ways to create personal web pages. Websites like Facebook and MySpace are some of the most popular sites about people's daily activities. They give people a place to write their ideas and opinions about how they think of others' ideas.

Blogs offer young people a place to show their writing and feelings. They can also help people communicate with each other. But blogs can become dangerous when they are read on the Internet by millions of people all over the world.

Recent studies show that young people often give out their names, age and where they live on the Internet. That may not be safe for them. This personal information puts them at the risk of being searched out by dangerous people who want to hurt them. Students can also get into trouble when they put others' information on their blogs. As a result, many schools have banned the use of blogging websites on school campus. Many schools have also begun teaching parents about the websites. Parents should know what their children are doing online and should read their blogs to make sure they are not giving out private information. One way to keep away from their problems is to use programs so that blogs can be read by "friends only". People can read the website only if they know a secret word chosen by the blogger.
