How to use this at home!

This is an example of a BLOG – This is short for WEB LOG (Online diary).

We can use it to add information, pictures and web links. What is different is that you can add comments to them!

When new posts are added they go to the top and so to start you need to remember to scroll down to the bottom and read the sections in the right order.

Good Luck trying this! Miss Salmon
