It's something I've been told and thought about throughout the course of my life. And of course, it's always better to have your own stuff. Including your own blog. And because Billie Holiday is always someone great to listen to.
I'm still getting the hang of this Blogger software. It's been a while since I've tackled with anything involving HTML or forum/blogging software.
Be forewarned about infrequent blog posts. There may be times I might not be able to hammer out a post every single day.
Other than that, welcome and make yourselves at home.
