I am not a graphics designer.
I am not a professional computer programmer.
I know enough about coding to be dangerous.

Because of this I may never do a whole lot more to improve the look of my blog. Yeah I can understand all the syntax of HTML/PHP and such, but in the last several years I have never had the will (or time) to dive into the various web programming languages.

I taught myself BASIC on a TI99/4A, learned PASCAL in high school and did enough FORTRAN programming to write a simple finite element analysis program for a senior level structural design class. I self taught myself the ins and outs of a certain database program and wrote a pretty decent membership database.

The thing that changed was getting married. It really cut down on my extra curricular learning in the afternoon and evenings...and now there are toddlers in our house... and now all time and learning new programming languages and web customization are gone for a while to come.

That is unless I can make more money fooling with computers than I can as an Engineer....umm no I don't think so...well, not right now.
