Obligatory Hello World Post

I don't mean to toot my own horn, but I'm fairly comfortable with web design. However, I've never focused on designing web sites for instructional use: the websites I've worked on have either been for my own amusement or provide information to others (in this case, restaurant information). I'm also insterested to learn my peers' opinions on the principles/elements of good design! Hopefully, they'll comment on my blog! Thanks.
