POST #1: Introduction

Hello, all.

This weblog will be an ongoing attempt to discover and discuss all there is to know about prints.  After enough blog entries have been posted, I hope to begin organizing each entry by utilizing the categories listed below.  I mention this to give an idea of the broad scope of this blog.  I also hope to one day include a method for trading with visitors to my blog, as well as setting up large group trades.  The posting of content may be slow-going at first, but I hope to post once or twice per week.  Once momentum takes its course, I intend to post about one article per day.  Ultimately, I want this to be the one-stop for all information regarding printmaking (catering to newcomers to printmaking media as well as veterans).
