"Thing 3: "Set-up your own blog and add your first post"

I was surprised how easy it was to set-up your own blog. I probably should have done this first then completed "thing 1 & 2" (instead of waiting to set up the blog as "thing 3".)

It also has been interesting learning how to edit blog entries after they are posted. I have found that it is helpful to go to "new post" then find edit to change an entry.

I look forward to interacting with others on my blog and on their blogs.
