Things to use in sentences
When does one use a colon? : Or a semi-colon? ; Or a dash? - Everything has a specific purpose - can you explain the difference between these? I would like to know.
Everything (:;-) has more then one meaning, I'll just state one for each!
Colon: Use to show a definition eg. Colon: Use to show definition eg. Colin: Use...
Semi-colon: Use when there are two similar themes eg. I walked home; I lost my bike.
Dash: Use instead of "to" eg. 3pm-4pm
Wikipedia helped me lots!

PS: I saw the worlds best stick animation, its called "The demented cartoon movie". I watched it, but it took 30 mins! It's cool, no swearing, we should watch at school! You can check it here:
Mr Woody, is this good as a wall chart? I got title, intro, an "Mites around the house" article, an Dust Mite article, an head louse article, and a conclusion! I got borders, and 3 pictures, a head louse, a dust mite, and a flea! Is that good for a science fair? Or should I change something.
i like the topic ernie - it is a creepy one, so people will find it interesting. also, the creatures make good models because they look so grotesque and spooky when you see them magnified. i would change the title because you have called it mites around the house, then included things that aren't mites. i would call it invidious invertebrates, or, ugly arthropods, or something that used aliteration and a scientific name for the group or category of creatures you are describing. in this case, they are all invertebrates - that means things without back bones. well done for using the blog effectively to seek information relating to your science fair.
paradise man - yes - clear references on the bottom right hand corner. and if 'acarinas' is a real word then that is a brilliant title - as long as acarinas are what you are describing and its the correct name for them. 8>)

Do I have to put the reference on the bottem right corner?
Is "alarming acarinas around the abode" better?

Acarina is the scientific group name for mites!
Im nearly finished! I just have to stick the stuff on!
Oh yea should I include my name?
paradise - you are posting in the wrong place. and no, don't put your name on the front. i have labels for you for the back of your science fair.
A semi- colon can be used to replace a fuul stop, semi-colons are also used before words like therefore, nevereless, however, morever.
A colon is udes to introduce a list also you see it on the second half of a sentence to expand or summarize the the first half.
Bubbles
that's a much better definition, bubbles. well done - check your spelling next time.

you're in the running for the champ of the night award!
When do you use of and off, does anyone know??
laffy... hmmm... re-read your comments before you post them to make sure they will make sense to another reader.
you are doing well.
i want to see interesting thought provoking topics posted on your blogs.
btw... off means off - of means of
I have nothing to add to Paradise man's comments. I wish I had come on earlier!
sorry and next time i will try to get my spelling right.
