(Guess the point where Hag notices his teacher walking past the house and waves – while talking to a Hollywood star on the phone of course!)
We also get Robert to sing Ke$ha’s ‘Tic Toc’ – oh yes we do!!!!

Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2: Roderick Rules – How to Blogg!!
“It’s not a diary, it’s a journal!” To celebrate the release of The Diary of A Wimpy Kid 2: Roderick Rules on September 19th, we’ve come up with 5 simple steps with some great ideas on how to step out of the stone age away from the classic diaries that you hide under your mattress, and into the 21st century, with the answers and a guide to setting up your own blog.
Step 1
Decide what type of blogger you want to be. This will determine what free sites that you will use to set up your blog. Your options are:
‘Micro Blogging’- You can do this on Twitter! Limited to 140 characters, you have to be witty, quick and precise.
‘Web 2.0 Blogging’- This is the most common form of blogging and there are many sites that offer free online spaces for you to use. Try wordpress.org or blogger.com for quick and easy sign up.
‘V Log’ – A video blog! This one might require a larger amount of time, but it’s a great idea for actor, presenter and model wannabes! Simply record yourself talking about whatever you have in your head, upload to a video sharing site such as youtube.com or vimeo.com, create your own personal channel and wait for the comments to roll in!
Step 2
Decide your blog name. You want something good, you want something that people will remember, and most importantly, you want something unique. Ihatemybrother, schoolsucks and Girlsaregross are just a few to get your imagination going.
Step 3
Decide on what you want to blog about! Ask yourself why you are creating the blog. Do you want to release your inner emotions to the world? Or do you want to post tips on how to ensure a perfect prank against your older brother? Whatever you decide for your content, it is important that you stick to it and post regularly. I’m sure you don’t like stale food, so why should anyone like a stale blog! Here are some more ideas:
• Ways to get back at your parents for telling you off
• How to deal with homework copying & rules for an easy life
• Short stories you’ve written (perfect for aspiring authors!)
• Favourite fashion trends
• Celebrity crushes
• Favourite Films or video games
• A cringe page featuring the cringiest moments at school or at home
• Favourite youtube videos –here’s mine! Click here
Step 4
In order to be a world class blogger, you need to remember the people that made you famous. What I’m talking about is etiquette. Yes, your Ps & Qs and your ‘Thank You’s’. When people comment on a post that you have made, you need to reply! When they comment saying (which I’m sure they will), ‘Wow! What a great post, I never knew a monkey could feed a baby tiger’, that is an invitation to respond to your blog lovers. Thank them for the comment, let them know you appreciate them visiting your blog. Also, if they follow your blog, it’s only polite to follow theirs back. Soon enough you’ll have a magic circle of bloggers!
Step 5
This step is one of the most important. Remember that what goes online is completely PUBLIC. There is no PRIVACY on the Internet, and because of this, you need to remember not to post your personal details! (this includes your mobile or bbm number)
Because everything online is public, it also means that you have to be very careful what you say…If you want to say you hate your Maths teacher, be prepared for the consequences! Before you post, think about how that person might feel when they read your blog.
Similarly, because there are issues of privacy, you may not want to post about who you have a crush on and how you think so and so has really nice eyes. Just be cautious before you blog!
Follow these steps, you and are guaranteed to have a successful blog that everyone will remember! Some blogs that are really popular can get invited to secret film screenings, get sent free jewellery to review or invited to cool parties!
