I am a blogger (not on blogger.com) and I'm 18. I consider myself as a young girl. And no, I won't paste the link to my blog.

I said that 13 is too old to be the youngest. I've seen 11/12 year old bloggers. Then you said:

Then I said;

Do you understand me?

You still dont understand
You said

and I said

@Retro

What I virtually meant by this was
since u know there are younger bloggers
why dont u paste the link to their blogs?
I didnt say U shud paste the link to urs

Oh, then your post was wrong. It should have been;

brainyme:

@Retro

If there are so many young bloggers YOUNGER than 13, why don't you paste the links right here? Because I'm a blogger who's older than 13.

@retro and brainyme:

u thot of starting the "i said, then u said, then i said" thread yet?

No, not yet.

nice 1, retro!

Bloggers who will not post their links should kindly keep quiet. You'll be banned if caught fighting.

http://catchanimals..com/ content sadly isn't original. Use www.copyscape.com on it and see.

I just want to encourage more Nigerians to embrace the blogosphere and bridge the huge gap between us and the rest of the world. As at present, over 49 million Americans read blogs daily. And there are over 24 million blogs in America alone. Forums and blogs are vehicles for mass literacy.

If you can use a cellphone you can blog.

God bless.

I admire your initiative. What are the benefits of blogging for young people?

Blogging will be motivating them to broaden the scope of their knowledge in active readership and scholarship. Like teachers are now using blogs as teaching tools. My friend Edmonton's blog Did You Know on http://universalfacts..com is a beneficial edcational blog and there is another blog specifically on improving the knowledge of animals. Of course, there is the blog for school children to rate their teachers. And the emergence of these blogs have made teachers and parents to be more proactive.

Parents are also encouraged to read blogs to know what their children are blogging about or are reading on other blogs.

"I think it’s the most beautiful tool of the world and it allows us the most magic thing, "
—Florence Dassylva-Simard, fifth-grade student

Personally, blogging has helped me to focus on my literary development as I network with my fellow writers through blogs and I have been using blogs to promote my duly registered Nigerian publishing company by creating blogs to promote and market various books successfully. Three blogs for the three books of a Nigerian author and one blog for my own book. And more literary blogs are coming, because Nigerian authors are now asking me to create blogs for their books. The Nigerian author I created blogs for had over 500,000 unique visits in three months.

I have found my niche.

What is a blog?
Web log.
It is a tool for the advancement of human knowledge.

Orikinla,

I am with you on this. One cannot quantify the many advantages of reading and expanding one's horizon.

Can't they equally read, write and expand their horizons through forums like Nairaland?

Seun,
You like to blow your trumpet!

Celebrate yourself.

Here is the link to another Nigerian child blogging. Her name is Adannma Olisa and she is also 13.

The beautiful ones are being born before our very eyes.

u have a beautiful heart, orikinla!

I just hope and pray that they are blogging safely! Teenage bloggers are really a target of predators in the Western world. Thank God for web police. Do we have any in the naija web space.

Orikinla:

I wonder!

If the poster has read the book, why not tell us about it?

I don't like lazy posters.

Orikinla can U log on to Gmail pls

am still wondering what this blog thingy is all about, is it where people write jorunals or sumthing of that nature? is there any prize attached to it cuz I can see sum ppl figthing I need an answer plz

Hotstepper,
Blogging 101 is available online and for serious citizen journalism through blogging you can see http://citizenjournalistsassociationofng..com

Leave those who are wrangling alone.

We call it flaming in the blogsphere.

I wonder why the two youngest bloggers are both 13, female and blog only about animals. Aren't there more interesting things?

But all the same its cool to have a blog

I started mine in April and today I have 6,936 Visits recorded in my stats.

Blogging is a nice way to pass information to those who dont know
Its also a way of getting acquainted to other people who share ur own
views about things of the world.

But to be a prolific blogger, U need what I will call TIME and a FAST
INTERNET CONNECTION.

@Hotstepper,
Does this answer ur question?
