Blogging 101

I decided to take some time tonight, since McKenna went to bed early, and actually take some time to take a self-directed course entitled "Blog 101".  I think I've tried out almost every possible color, font, background, etc that is possible (or at least that I could find), and I'm happy with how it turned out.  Hopefully from now on my blog will be more esthetically pleasing to all you expert bloggers out there.  I'm still learning though, so hopefully sometime in the future I can figure out how to add music, slideshows and videos - if anyone has tips I'd love to hear them!

Getting Started....

I've had this blog set up for a few months now, but just haven't taken the time to get going on in.  I'm more of a facebooker, but I find quite a few of my friends seem to be more into blogging, so I'm going to try and follow the crowd on this one.  Be patient with me as it's probably going to take me some time to figure everything out.
