The First Post

Hi all,

Here it is, my first post on the updated version of this blog. I originally started this blog on wordpress.com, but Blogger is simply easier to use. However, because I had already made about half a dozen or so posts on Wordpress, I am putting a link here to that site as well, in case anyone is curious: http://mariainvenice.wordpress.com That link should take you directly to that site. There's not a whole lot there, but if you're interested in some early posts that I wrote before I knew for sure that I was going, check it out.

Now that the old business is taken care of, on to the new business: this new version of "Maria in Venice" here on Blogger! There are several features I am really excited about with this blog, in particular the world clock that tells what time it is in Italy, the poll at the bottom of the page which I hope everyone will check out and vote on and which will be updated weekly (the current one is open until October 9th, though) and once I have some pictures worth posting, those will be up here, too.

That's pretty much all I've got for now, take a minute to check things out, and leave me comments!

Thanks,
Maria : )
