So, here’s an unusual birthday present from your family.  We know you love to read, and we recently learnt that you love to write too. And fast and interestingly.  And we thought this would be some kind of opportunity to explore that wonderful imagination of yours.  You are allowed to write here whenever you want.  We encourage you to be diverse, to express yourself and to learn how to optimise wordpress and its potential.

You have your very own domain name now;  www.tanahn.com ! can you believe it? It is also www.tanahn.wordpress.com – just in case we forget to pay the bill next year.

You can upload photos, embed videos, design little questionnaires, talk about things that interest you and your friends – and who knows, maybe someday someone other than your family may even read it!

We’re giving this to you because in this fast-changing world, a 9-year old ought to be able to write a blog and build a basic website.  By the time you’re an adult, blogs may not exist and websites will be built by 5-year olds.  You’ll also learn that what you do and say online is public, it is available to the world indefinitely, so take care – think about who you may be and what you may do in twenty years – have respect, both for yourself and for others.  Be, online, the person you want to share with the world, friends and friends-to-be.

love from Mummy, Daddy and Kian.
