This is my first blog entry for Today’s Teen - can’t believe it’s taken me this long to get going, but that’s what happens when you spread yourself too thin and wear lots of hats! I’m a mom - to two teens - and I publish Today’s Teen, a newspaper written primarily by teens for teens, in South Florida. It’s available throughout schools in Palm Beach County, and online to everyone else. The paper accepts submissions through this website, or you can send material straight to me at publisher@teentubeonline.com. Just put Today’s Teen submission in the headline so I don’t delete you! Be sure to check out our past issues through the website.
There’s so much going on - first and foremost, our new revamped website. We hope you love our new look, and also hope you’ll jump on board with your own blogs, which you can upload right here. You can even get your own domain name on the site. And if you’re an aspiring talented teen interested in sharing your talents with the world, you can upload videos through our new video community, teentubeonline. The whole idea is to let teen bands, solo artists, groups, comedians, magicians, poets, ballerinas, violinists - whomever - upload their stuff on teentubeonline. Picture You Tube for teens!
Also on board supplying music clips of its favorite artists are Fearless Records, (the rockin’ label for such artists as The Maine, New Found Glory, All Time Low and Say Anything), and Rock Star Stories/Swept Away TV Productions, whose interviews, with such artists as John Mayer, Maroon 5, Fall out Boy, Panic at the Disco, Cute is What We Aim For and The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, already air in 67 markets and 4500 colleges on the OSTN Network.
For teens into sports, the site has ‘recruited’ MySportVideos.com, the first free mobile online community dedicated to youth sports. The site allows young athletes to track and share their sport videos and stats with friends, family, team members, coaches, and even recruiters, while bringing together professional athletes, young whiz kids and experts in the fields of sports training, nutrition and sports psychology.
As I mentioned when I started my entry, there is so much going on, and this is all just the beginning. I’ll be using my blog to give you the latest updates on the site and Today’s Teen, to share some tidbits of news on different issues I think you might find interesting, and to share some personal thoughts as well. As for your own blogs - I can’t wait to get to know all of you!
Until next time, be happy, and healthy.
Write On!
