new blog: how do you drive this thing?

Soundtrack in my head:  The Pretenders, “2000 Miles”

I’m still in edit mode with this  toy called a new blog.

I selected Squarespace.com to post this website because it looked like it would give me the flexibility to design the site the way I want.  Well, that may ultimately be true, but right now I feel like I’ve hijacked an alien spaceship and am not quite sure what the controls of this thing does. At least my banner turned out okay–first little victory.  As I try to figure out what buttons do what, I ask myself:  okay, now I’m actually supposed to do something creative with this?  I think the aliens are laughing at me.
