Fun times learning about blogs

So this process started with an initial thought of documenting my trip to Oregon. I have also wanted to teach myself more about HTML and web design. I started out using Wordpress hoping to design my own blog page and quickly discovered that I should not be trying to learn blog design past 10pm..haha! So I changed over to blogger in the hopes that it would be easier to figure out...especially late at night! I have successfully learned how to upload templates and make alterations to them. I'm going to keep playing around with it and see what happens!!

Stay tuned for adventures on my Oregon Trail!!!!!!!
