What can we use if we don't have a notebook to write the fandom name, list, and review?

Use a sheet of printer paper, a spiral notepad, or a blank document or notes app on a tablet/computer and follow the same steps to write the fandom name at the top, list three characters/stories, and draft the review.

My fan art won't upload or the blog preview looks wrong—what should we try?

If the 'Upload your fan art image' step fails or the preview looks off, ask the adult to resize the image to a common format like JPG or PNG and under the site file-size limit, clear the browser cache or try a different browser, then re-upload and preview before publishing.

How can we change the activity for younger or older kids while still following steps like writing a review, sketching fan art, and setting privacy?

For ages 5–7 make the review one sentence and use coloring or stickers for the 'sketch a piece of fan art' step while the adult creates the blog account and sets privacy, for ages 8–11 keep the 3–5 sentence review and let the child pick the blog color/layout, and for 12+ expand the review length, add tags, and let the teen help configure more settings with adult supervision.

How can we extend or personalize the blog beyond the single post before sharing on DIY.org?

Create a recurring 'Review of the Week' series, design and upload a custom header image with your fan art, add an 'About' page using your one-sentence tagline, use different colors or layouts for each post, and tag posts before previewing and publishing to share on DIY.org.

Facts about blogging for kids

✨ Fan communities existed long before the internet—fans exchanged homemade fanzines, letters, and art by mail.

📸 Blog posts with images or fan art usually get more attention than text-only posts, so pictures help your voice be seen.

🎨 Many professional artists and writers began by sharing fan art and fan fiction in online communities.

🔒 Most major social platforms set a minimum age of 13 to help protect kids' privacy (influenced by COPPA rules).

📝 The word "blog" comes from "weblog," a term first used in 1997.

How do I create a fandom blog with my child?

To make a fandom blog, pick a kid-friendly platform (Blogger, WordPress, Wix, or a private Tumblr), choose a fun pseudonym, and set privacy to invite-only or parent-approved. Design a simple layout, create categories (stories, characters, fan art, reviews), write your first post about a favorite character, add images you made or have permission to use, preview and publish with a parent's review, and schedule regular posts while teaching respectful commenting and copyright basics.

What materials do I need to make a fandom blog?

You'll need a device with internet (computer, tablet, or phone), a parent email account to sign up, and a simple blogging platform or site builder. Optional items include a domain name, graphics tool like Canva, a camera or scanner for fan art, a basic photo editor, and a notebook for ideas. Also prepare parental controls, a shared password manager, and a folder to save image credits and permissions for safe, legal posting.

What ages is this fandom blog activity suitable for?

This activity suits children roughly 7–18 with age-appropriate supervision. Ages 7–10 need close parent help for setup, writing support, and image permissions. Ages 11–13 can create more content but should have parental accounts, comment moderation, and privacy limits (COPPA applies under 13). Teens 14–18 can be more independent, practicing writing and basic design while parents guide on safety, copyright, and respectful online behavior.

How can I keep my child safe while creating a fandom blog?

Keep kids safe by using a pseudonym, avoiding personal details, and setting the blog to private or invite-only until trusted. Require parent approval for posts, moderate comments, and review follower requests. Use copyright-safe images with proper credit, enable strong passwords and two-factor authentication, and store login info securely. Teach how to block/report harassment, discuss online privacy, and check the blog regularly for inappropriate content or contact.
