Orchid has some good tips. I tried WordPress and just couldn't wrap my head around it; for me it just wasn't intuitive and Blogger is. I would suggest you try both and see which one works for you. And yes, definitely get your business name first before setting up the business blog. You could always set up a personal blog first for a test run before deciding which blog software works for you. Some hosting companies will allow you to set up a web site including a blog with guestbook and lots of other features. If you do a web site hosting comparison, you can get great deals on hosting.

I'm excited for you. This sounds like a great new possibility!!
