At last!

I feel quite silly. I've been here a couple of times, but never managed to post. All I was able to do was comment on someone else's post. I just wasn't reading all the instructions, and was linking directly to the page instead of first logging into the blogger site. All fixed now. And I have a blogger account! I should know better.
I still struggle to find uses for a blog site with kids. Finding a site that is accessible at school is the first problem, and then having a real purpose rather than trying to invent one. I've thought about it a lot, but still haven't come up with a real reason. I'd love to hear from someone who had moved beyond this and uses one effectively.
