“At first I thought, ‘now I’ve got a problem.’ Soon after I began to think, ‘no, now I have an adventure.’”
– Paul Simon on writing Graceland

Ready to share the details of my life on the internet I was excited to find my desired web address available. While personalizing the settings on the site’s template, however, I ran into my first roadblock; the generic title bar only allowed for capital lettering. All caps just would not do to clearly convey the name of my blog. I had no choice but to create my own masthead and after an hour tinkering in photoshop I’d done so.
I thought my first attempt was adequate and must admit an ember of pride in my chest the first time I saw my masthead load on this site. As I’ve watched it pop up again and again I see it the way one might see the first draft of an English paper. I have an idea of how to better apply my precious little knowledge of photoshop to my next attempt and, better yet, I know what I want to learn more about.
So now on to the rest of my adventures. Check back often for new and improved mastheads, and maybe a few entries as well.
