Thing #2

While creating my blog, the fact that I have no previous experience with blogs or blogging quickly became evident.  I spent a lot of time conducting trial and error sessions with all of the different aspects of this process and it was, at times, a bit disheartening.  My learning curve in regard to this process is nice and steep, however, and it is because of this that any progress made was regarded by me as a celebratory-level achievement.  Due to my previous inexperience I created the names associated with my blog with nothing but simplicity in mind. 

                In creating my avatar I was a bit disappointed that there were no options for a shell representing a grizzled, high-mileage, middle-aged male with left and right hip osteoarthritis, but after some effort I believe that I ended up with a graphic representation of myself worthy of placement in the Matrix, or at the very least, a decent Wii game.
