New Hampshire Real Estate Happenings with Monika

• Apr. 14, 2007 - 11 Year Old Wannabe Blogger

11 years old and wants to Blog...now what do I do?

 Jay and I are babysitting our 11 year old grandson Mikey tonight. Out of the blue he asks me to help him set up a Blog? He wants his own Blog!

He is only 11 and I really didn't know what to say. 

I asked him if he knows what a Blog is. He said yes of course he did and asked didn't I know all about Blogs???

Have you been reading my Blogs I asked? Yes, I have, he told me.  He particularly enjoyed the ski blog since it had his photo in it!  

So here he is wanting to Blog... I'm not sure how to let him have the feel for a Blog while keeping him off the web.  I suggested he write something and I'll post it on my blog...after all I'm always looking for guest bloggers. No thank you he said, he really wants his own blog.  I asked what will you write about? He said he'd write about things that he was thinking about...very simple he said!

He has had his own laptop for about a year now and truth be told he probably knows more about technology than I do.  For Easter he got a real Microscope and uses it all the time.

So maybe one of these days Michael will write something on my blog or maybe on Jay's blog.  Or maybe he'll start up some kids blog somewhere...I'd really not be surprised!

BTW...If you haven't been to Jay's blog you ought to check it out...he's doing awesome things posting videos of our listings! For a self taught Boomer he has really come a long way!  Click here to visit Jay's Blog.

Hire him!  LOL, that's what I've done with my child to keep him off m*yspace, etc. I keep him so busy working on my website, etc he doesn't have time for anything else (and he's better at it than I am!).

I should hire him...before he becomes a teenager! Problem is he wants to see his own name on his own blog. Mikey is better at all the tech stuff than I am. Thanks for reading and commenting Michelle.

Great story. This sounds like a great "idea" for a technology savvy person. It would be similar to the "v" chip on the television. Whenever the "child" would submit something there would be an approval time before it would ever go live. I don't have the ability to do it - of course then they become teenagers ... and it all goes out the window.
