Here is my first-ever blog post!

It is going to be a very short post, because I am slow when it comes to learning and doing new things, and WordPress is definitely a new thing for me, and it is getting late…but I really want to get my first post posted today (January 1st) and not tomorrow!

Last year, after the Marshall fire, my unofficial New Year’s resolution was that I wanted to finally start the blog I’d been thinking about for so long. Yesterday (December 31st) I finally managed to pick a domain name and purchase a hosting package and manage all of picking out a top image (isn’t it pretty? I like tiny pretty things, and lichens definitely count!)…and that was it.

Now, today, I have managed to put something on my About page (though, if you are reading this in anything approaching real time, I know you will not be impressed with my page-formatting skills). But a blog isn’t a blog until you’ve got at least one blog post. So this post will make it official, and I can say that I managed the first milestone of my 2022 New Year’s resolution with only exactly 1 year of lag (which is actually pretty good for me and my projects).

Happy New Year!

I don’t think I’ll risk another resolution this year, but we’ll see.
