Thing 1 - My blog is up and running.
This is my third foray into blog sites.  I was able to make an avatar that looks something like me or at least how I would like to look.  I felt a little limited with the layout options and would like time to learn how to create my own.  I like that you can change the template which I amy do from time to time just for variety.  Now the hard part is deciding what to write and what to share.
