Leap into Bloggyland

I've made the leap over to bloggy land and I'm totally unsure of what I'm doing. I figured if everyone else can do it, so can I (I'm a "I can do it" kind of gal!). I see so many cool sites out there with such cool design and I'm going to have to figure out this whole thing and put some great graphics/pictures on my site so please bear with me as I figure it all out.
