I'm so excited! I just logged into my journal and see that I am only two hits away from 1,000 on my counter. That is very exciting since I just started blogging here in J-land last month.
While I feel very inadequate in so many ways creating my little journal, I recognize already how far I have come, learning all the details to perk up my entries. When I started this journal, I had never heard of: J-land, FTP space, tags, anis, blinkies or avatars. I did not understand the benefits of when to use Text vs HTML. I did not know how to add a link to my journal. I thought PSP only stood for Playstation something. I had not heard of PhotoBucket or Flickr and so many other wonderful sites that can help you improve your online experience. WOW! What a ride!
Thanks to so many of you for your invaluable assistance answering my questions. I've got lots more!! Special thanks to Patrick of Patrick's Place and John Scalzi. They have been patient teachers of this newbie.
And, to those of you who are quickly becoming my Journal friends, thank you for all your beautiful, humorous and thoughtful entries. You inspire me! I'd like to encourage you to look at my Other Journals list. I have recently added several more links to some journals that I have found to be very worthy of a visit. Several are from countries outside the USA and they will add to the texture of your life.
I welcome your visits. I hope my entries are worth your time. I love your comments. It is like having your yearbook signed. I plan to continue to learn and improve. And, one day I will stop holding my breath when I hit the Save button, wondering if what I intended matches, what will ultimately appear on the screen.

WTG on reaching a milestone! Love the butterfly graphic! Isn't it neat to be able to do all these wonderful things on the computer and then share it with friends you have made online?
I enjoy reading your journal and look forward to many more months of signing your yearbook, LOL.

I can't believe you've only been going a month and yet you've mastered all those wonderful graphics. I've not been doing it long myself (and had a 4 week break!) and I still have trouble getting the basics right! Well done you!!!
