Ah...to fledge

Like any squab (look it up), I've been having my fair share of difficulties. I think I'm getting the hang of sifting through code to alter my template. It took me a bit to find a comments section that worked, and I have no links. Other than that, I am thoroughly proud of myself. The thing I couldn't figure out was that--on my first post--certain grammatical markings would not work. Instead of apostrophes, quotation marks, and ellipses, I got a series of symbols in their place. Confusing to say the least. That, however, seems to have sorted itself out. I am most pleased. I promise I'll start posting things of actual substance...eventually.
