Thanks to Maestro, I am now the reasonably proud owner of an anime blog.

I'll be spending the next few weeks trying to learn all the various ins-and-outs of Wordpress and the like. I've got a fairly good grip of HTML 4.01, and XHTML 1.0 doesn't seem to be that different. I've only started practicing CSS2, though, and while I'm confident in the simple things like making the text look all pretty, floating block placement and sidebars are a bit much.

And then there's Wordpress, and the choice of plugins, and the general vocabulary of blogging in general. "Trackback"? What's that? "RSS"? Speak English, dammit.

Anyway, please be patient with me while I try not to break the site any more than I have to.

While I fiddle around with the settings, I'll just mention a bit about myself, and what this blog is likely to be about. I'll probably clean up these ramblings and place it in the "About Me" page, but until then, this will have to do. Also, these will be long and self-absorbed, which will probably give you a hint about posts to come.
