Picture test


I just want to see if I have figured out how to post a picture. What a better test sample than my new "little pro".

First timer

OK...I am joining the bazillions of Americans blogging. This is really just a test to see if I can even figure out how to post. It took me about an hour to figure out how to put that picture in the corner of the blog, so if that's any indication, I'm in big trouble. Hopefully, this will get easier!
