Here goes nothing!

OK, now that I'm an almost empty-nester I've decided that I should learn to "blog" (can blog be a verb?).  I'd like to see if I can eventually put something together to energize my book club.  Guess where I started?  My local library, where I found a copy of Blogging for Dummies.  As suggested in the book, I'm setting this up as a test site, until I'm ready to go with the book club blog.  So far, so good.
