Intro and Help needed

I am starting a blog at the request of my sisters. To explain the name: My husband and I are Pirates, ECU Pirates that is! We are currently located in Kentucky. Our home state is Eastern NC (where we met). Soon (July 2011) we will be relocating to Rhode Island. Thus the name of our blog. Our plan is to use this blog to keep use connected to our families and friends as we travel, once again, to a new state

I am a little bit technically challenged. So any hints or tips to make this blog better would be greatly appreciated. I am also grammatically challenged. So please correct my grammar and punctuation. I will try to post pictures. I guess I need to start taking some.
