| Some observations/suggestions about school leader blogging
| - Decide on a schedule and work hard to stick to it. For example, you may want to start with what seems to be a reasonable schedule such as once a month. This will allow you to judge the time commitment. You can always post more frequently later.
- Think carefully about how you will monitor comments. For example, you may want to consider not allowing comments or have comments monitored before posting. Here is an article that tells about a superintendent who stopped a blog due to negative comments.
- Edit! Edit! Edit! The last thing you want are mistakes in your blog posts.
- Look for opportunities to post about the positive things that area happening in your school district. So many good things go on in schools. Many times, these good stories go unnoticed.
