New to blogging!

Hello! My name is Dawn Ickes and I am a new blogger. I teach 8th grade language arts and have an at-home business. I have a blog I have posted to twice because I don't understand the phenomenon and how it all works. This is why I am here. My mom is blogging about the grandkids but I want to blog about my home-based business to try and generate customers. Not sure how to do this. I also want a blog or maybe a twitter page for my students to check out as communication w/ them. Lot of questions, glad I found this course!
