I have a BLOG!

This is what everyone has been patiently waiting for...I finally created my own blog! It's about time I caught up with the rest of the world. My family and friends have been trying for FOREVER to get me to create my own website of some kind. I mean, I did get my associate degree in WEB DESIGN after all, and it's taken me how long to finally do something with it for myself?

I must admit that it's been a few years since I've done any kind of web design, so my skills are definitely rusty and in need of some major polishing. I have the potential to be good at it again (saved all of my HTML and design books...whew), and figure that creating this blog gives me an excuse to practice! There is so much that I've forgotten, and web design has advanced to the point that what I know is frighteningly outdated. At least the basics are still the same. Code is still code, even if how I do it is considered prehistoric. (Think: hand typing everything verses using a web design program that writes the code for you. I might as well be chiseling everything into a stone tablet - a very THICK stone tablet. But that's the only way I'll be able to re-learn this stuff and get back on the ball again!)

So I apologize for how this blog is currently designed. I see many cosmetic changes occurring in the not so distant future, and that's an exciting concept for me! I'm looking forward to exploring my options and setting foot in this vaguely familiar world of web design, with this blog being the first step! Wish me luck!

  3. Web Design? Im impressed. I took a course in C++ and just about lost my mind. Good luck with the profile layout!

  4. Thanks! Never had a chance to learn C++, but I did take multiple HTML classes, MS Access, Visual Basic (which I hated with a passion because the learning curve was straight up and the teacher was learning it with us; he had NO CLUE as to what he was doing), and MS-DOS (which is similar to HTML and is pretty basic).
