101 in 1001: Monthly Goal Updates
I’ve decided to create a list that will keep track of some of my monthly goal updates as well as a list of the books I’m reading as part of my 101 Books in 1001 Days objective. At the end of the challenge, I’ll post a complete book list. To view my entire 101 in 1001 days list of goals, click here.

My British writer friend has been writing and sending me a series of fairy tales about faeries and more recently, the awakening of a dragon. ROAR!

Let’s start with some site news: I now have a local installation of WordPress on my computer with server et al. This means that I’ll have the power to make changes to my site and more or less preview them before actually changing anything “live”. For a PHP newbie, this is going to be super helpful for me to learn how to add, remove or modify code (and test it) without risking a major code fail. My site looks sad at this moment.
