The Obligatory First Post

Well, hi there. It is nice of you to stop by on your busy day. I am currently in a web development class at a New York college. In my minds eye, I anticipate this blog to start out dry and dull. But as I learn HTML (just learned all about that today!) and all the other ins and outs of web pages I expect this page to blossom like a gorgeous flower. I'm not going to use the various items that help compose a blog on Blogger like bold, colors, inserting images, etc. I want this to be a diary of what I've learned. So I hope you find it kinda cool and follow me as I journey on.
