Comment Policy: ATTENTION STUDENTS, TEACHERS AND PARENTS

    On the NIE blog, students should sign their posts with their first names and last initial, then their school and grade. (You can put only your first name if you prefer). No profanity or inappropriate language is allowed. All entries are screened before they are posted. Editors retain the right to delete threatening or profane entries, or personal attacks on specific individuals.
  • NOTE: THIS IS NOT THE CASE WITH ALL ST. PETERSBURG TIMES BLOGS. SOME MAY INCLUDE COMMENTS FROM BLOGGERS THAT ARE INAPPROPRIATE FOR STUDENTS.
  • HOW DO I POST A COMMENT?
  • First, read the posts that interest you on this blog. To see what other students think about this subject, click on the word COMMENTS below the post and a new page will appear.
  • Look for where it says: POST A COMMENT. Go down to the name box and type in your name, grade and school like this: Billy B., 9th grade, Washington High School.
  • Type in your email address if you have one (it will not be posted) and leave the URL box blank.
  • Click your mouse inside the COMMENTS box and type your response to the post.
  • Then, select the PREVIEW button to proof your comments.
  • When you sure you have everything written they way you want it, click the button, POST.
  • You are now officially a blogger and everyone in Tampa Bay – and the world – will soon be able to read your opinion!
