Followers not showing up in Internet Explorer
There are times that the Followers widget will not show up in Internet Explorer. I recommend you switch browsers to Firefox, Opera, Chrome, Safari, or any other browsers.

Sometimes the issue of Followers widget not showing up is a matter of allowing the browser to finish loading the page.

If all else fails
Go to Blogger Help.

Internet Safety

If today is Wednesday July 15th 2009, then you are probably one of my students in Geometry III - St. Augustine.

Here is an advice for you and to all CST students.

1. This site is not a chat room. This site is NOT Friendster or any other social network!
2. Do not divulge your full name or personal profile when commenting. Identification by first name only is accepted here.
3. Do not write your email address when posting or commenting.
4. Use a formal and proper email address. No to cutie_pie@something.com or pogi@somewhere.com. I will ban you from this site if you use such email addresses.
5. If you are interested to be a Follower, use pictures that are low in quality—probably less than 2kb in size. Use of decent avatars is recommended (see the picture above).
6. Btw, you are not allowed to chat here. You may exchange information through commenting without limit as long as it is relevant to the post or to your classroom activities.
   
7. Post comments and suggestions not related to a particular post in the Mini Forums. See left sidebar.
   
8. Your comments are to be filtered by your teacher.
9. Finally, visit the following sites: Internet Safety for Parents, Safe Surfing Tips for Teens, FBI Publications - A Parent's Guide to Internet Safety
