I knew nothing very little about the possibilities of open source applications like WorPress five or six years ago, but when I discovered how easy it is to get a wide range of themes, and then hack them with very littl understanding of code, Iwas sold. The internet truly became my classoom because as you suggest here, a quick web search often eads you to a wide range of other people who are trying to do something similar, if not the same thing. What's more, you're now a part of this process, and a resource in your own right. Both for us, as well as for a number of other folks that may be looking for this information out there. Tutorials/how-tos are very much a kind of storytelling that are by no means unique to the digital world, yet a common genre for sharing and connecting with others to learn as you go. A kind of on-demand classroom. Anyway, it's awesome to see you jumping right in, and just wait until you start digging in the plugins. Matthew,
