Wow! What a journey, and what a generous intro post! Thank you for sharing so much of your life experiences. I can't relate much as I am a little techtarded myself, I leave the software, coding, and whatever other techy things go on to my hubby and sons, lol.

If you don't mind a hint from a not-quite-as newbie: try to include the #minnowsunite in order to get your stuff in front of other not-quite-as newbies and some of the more influential folks here who like to give a leg up to a newbie now and again.

Best of luck!
