OK, I so I have a blog now!
This task was both fun and very frustrating for me.
After checking out 'Blogs of Note', I had all kinds of ideas of how I wanted my blog to look and function, so I watched the tutorial and started creating. I had loved the title headings used in the blogs Coffee Messiah and Art Car Central. Inspired, I wanted to create a heading for my blog that utilized a picture or graphic that along with the title would cover the entire top of the page. This is where my frustration began, I was not able to manipulate the provided templates to completely meet with my vision. The other thing that I had wanted for my blog was for it to have 3 areas of information. All the templates only allow for 2 areas. I would have liked more variety in templates and fonts and colors.
I probably need to be able to write my own html code to create the Blog I envisioned!
Another blog to check out is synch-ro-ni-zing from the blogs of note, it had a great use of photographs.
Blogging is a good thing and I can see many uses for blogs.
Now that I have this blog I would like to use it as a discussion of book and other media recommendations for myself, coworkers, friends, and members of the book club I belong to.

Be sure to click on BB BookClub in the right hand column. It is another blog that I created for the book discussion group I belong to. I found that template online, it is not one of the standard templates. If you are interested, see http://blogger-templates.blogspot.com But, beware...they were not all useable. I couldn't use my first choice - floral garden, error messages.
Hip Hip Hurray!!! You are quite an accomplished blogger and I'm glad to have you on my team!!!
