As any of you who regularly read my blog have noticed, I (well, actually, my blog guru and big brother Dan) have updated my blog to the most recent version of WordPress.

Along with this lovely and snazzy new version of my blog, there are a few teeny tiny glitches that I will work on over time.  Being a born procrastinator, I took too long to update my WordPress software, and it seems that the new version had a little trouble reading my old version; you will notice some odd characters mixed into the text of posts created prior to the transition.  I will remove those odd characters – including certain persons who are currently teasing me as I write this – over time; my plan is to work backwards, removing the erroneous characters from the most recent posts first, and then edit older posts as time, interest, and energy allow. 

Hope you like the changes!  Feedback is welcome in the comments section of this post.
