Start with a penny and learn to blog.

One of the reasons for starting this blog was to track progress of penny doubling and the other reason was to learn how to become a blogger. I borrowed from by local public library a book to help me do that: PUBLISHING A BLOG WITH BLOGGER book by Elizabeth Castro. Oh, when I read the book it customizing the Blogger code look rather easy; I knew a bit of HTML and the book made everything look oh, so pretty. I like the book so much that I bought it on eBay.

I just tried to follow all the easy directions and I've found that the Blogger site has changed and gee it's going to take a bit more effort to play around with this thing and get it to look different without making this blog disappear altogether. I've gone through several nasty-looking colors and some other weird arrangements. Oh-h-h-h-h. Scary.

Back in the Game!

My two doubling funds have been mostly sitting dormant, the STREETS ARE PAVED WITH GOLD fund was still the dollar bill which I used to "buy out" the $1.00 in coins and the SECOND CHANCE fund was only $.28 in coins I picked up from the street. Then suddenly last Friday evening, I stepped off the bus and there at my feet was a very shiny dime. The next morning I found a dollar on the sidewalk. These two finds have really sparked my enthusiasm.

The SECOND CHANCE fund now is up to $1.38
