I prefer to call it "Leaping" on the bandwagon

A few of my friends have tried it, so I thought I would too. This is my first time blogging and I am finding it extremely difficult, especially when the phone wont stop ringing....you would think I was at work or something!!!! Anyhow, I do have somethings in mind to write, but I would like to figure out how to make my blog spot pretty, and how to load pictures. Any advice would be fabulous!
