Thanks for the opportunity to contribute to your blog, Meagan. I would recommend you publish an initial post on your blog to welcome everyone. Follow up next week with your response post to the discussion question. Classmates should then limit their contributions on your blog to comments beneath your posts, rather than publishing their own posts on your blog. We don't want to confuse everyone with posts by multiple authors, which might make it difficult to determine the author of the blog.

Good luck with your blogging!
