For your very first blog post, follow the instructions and complete parts one and two. Both are due by Friday March 12th. Make sure to write in complete sentences and take care to edit and proofread for correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, and verb tense. Your blog will be read by many others so make sure it represents your best work.
