Hi Everybody

This is very cool -- thanks Elise, for taking the plunge (I'm actually getting ready to launch my own blog and, like you, know next to nothing about it, so we can learn together!). Somehow I am appearing (at least on my screen) as Julie (I set this profile just now) and as Jules (which is, I think how I'm set up for a Google group). So...until I can figure out how to combine these, I'll lead a double life. I can make the group next time -- hope I'm able to read the book (unfortunately, papers come first, but the semester will just about be done by then. Looking forward to meeting everyone. Julie
