Working with the Web on this Blog

Well, I've added a few bells and whistles to this page for my own amusement more than anything else, as I know my readership at this point is ZERO. I'm hoping that at some point this may change and folks might think I have something interesting to say.

As a kid, I used to keep a diary, and I did this for many years. I still have these diaries locked away and to this day, not another soul's eyes have read those pages. Then as I got a little older, I began to write poetry and those are locked away with the diaries as well. That's why it's strange to me that I've come to actually be intrigued by this public format. However, everytime I think of starting a hand-written journal again, it falls by the wayside. I'm much quicker with a keyboard and have enough downtime in my currently monotonous daytime schedule to allow me to endulge in this endeavor.
