All right, enough playing around. This isn't a gorgeous page yet, but at least it's clean and functional now. And it's beautiful in it's simplicity, gosh-darn it! There's more to come, designwise, but it'll take a bit since I'm just learning how to code. That's one of the secondary goals of this project, as a matter of fact: to learn hard-core HTML. No generators, no Dreamweaver. Just code. Since I'm not really inclined toward this sort of thing, it seems to involve a lot of fiddling and cussing on my part, followed by phone calls to Patient and Knowledgeable Friends. It's just so much easier for me to sit around and contemplate the fact that HTML is language made visible than it is to Discipline Myself and Learn Code. But a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. Especially when her grade depends on de-wussing herself.

So what is all of this? It's a blog with an intentionally limited audience. It's a Reading Journal for my spring Independent Study with Dr. Cox. It's an exercise in Something. The intentions are reasonably well laid out in my study proposal, which I shall post up forthwith.
