My niece knows that I have a few Blogs and she often asks me how I set up the Blogs for myself. I would reply her saying that I know how to set up Blogs because I have taken up a WordPress Jumpstart short course before. I apply what I have learned in the course and this is how I know about Blogging. I choose free WordPress theme and then set up the Blog myself.

My niece is 12 years old and is very curious. She would often stand near me to see what I’m writing in my Blogs. My niece would also give me some comments about the type of Blog themes that I have chosen. She doesn’t like simple and plain Blog themes. I think kids like colourful more than plain-looking stuffs. Maybe because they find plain Blog themes dull.

Her classmates have their Blogs hosted on free web-hosting services such as Blogger.com. They shared their “xxxx.blogspot.com” web address with my niece and this makes her feeling there is a need to own a Blog so as not to lag behind her classmates. Well, my sister is against the idea of letting my niece to have her own Blog probably because of online security reason. 

However, I would think otherwise. This is because writing Blog post is a good way to practise my niece’s writing skill and also to learn to express herself in words. At the same time, it helps to improve her English. So, I would encourage my niece to own a Blog of hers.

I told my niece that I’m quite busy lately and I will find some time to set up a Blog for her during her school holiday that is not too far away from now. Hmm…I think it’s going to be exciting to have a young Blogger to join in the Blogging fun.
