How to Start a Blog

In school today, I had to write a a paragraph about a topic I had chosen. I did my paragraph on starting a blog. Here it is:

   First of all, you will need to name your blog. The name should be related to what your blog is about ( Photography, drawing, writing, etc.)

   Next, you will need an email address so that you can set up your blog domain.

   If you are younger than 16 or 18 you should have a pen name to protect your identity, so that's the next step: Choosing a pen name.

   After that, you will need to convince your Dad to set up the blog (this step can be rather tedious and difficult😃😃). 

   And finally, start writing your first blog post (Story, 10 random facts about yourself, book review, contest, anything!).

Review of "The Extraordinary Education of Nicholas Benedict"

         Nicholas Benedict is a 9 year old orphan with a very rare condition called narcolepsy. If he laughs or cries for more than a few seconds, he falls asleep instantly, and doesn't wake up for an hour or more.
      He lived in an orphanage where everyone was cruel to him except one boy, John Cole.
      Nicholas also had a very special gift for remembering anything he had ever read or seen. This, naturally, was very handy to him.
       With the help of John and a deaf girl named Violet (a girl from the neighboring farm) Nicholas sets off in search of a long-lost treasures. What the treasure is is certainly not what you'd expect it to be. 
    He also outsmarts a gang of bullies who call themselves "The Spiders", which saves a bunch of little children from being bullied, helps get a farmer a much-needed gift to lighten his work load, and generally is the type of boy everyone loves.
    Nicholas Benedict (at age 70 or so) helps bring together the children who form the Mysterious Benedict Society, and they go on a mission to save the world. But the adventures of Reynie, Kate, George "Sticky", and Constance are another story...........
