Avoid posting anything on your blog that might be personal to other people if just anyone can read your blog (example: Your uncle might object that it's published on the Internet that he is an alcoholic). If something is personal, avoid using last names at the very least, or make up a name for that person. Be wary of unwarranted attention. Blogs are for the world to read. If you want a private blog just for friends, use Xanga or any other password-protected blogging site.
Xanga and MySpace are good for beginners, but for more public blogs, sites like Typepad and Blogger are much more "respected".
Be wary of unwarranted attention. Blog stalking is common; don't give out too much personal information such as name, location, school, etc.
Read the small print. If you don't, your blog's content may be "owned" by the company that puts it on the web for you.
Don't make your blogs like MySpace bulletins (adding random posts to suck in friends) and don't include your friend's name or websites in them either.
