Because I am new to blogging and maintaining my own blog site, it was necessary for me to learn the redimentary ins and outs of webpage design. While I had dabbled with graphic design in college, I knew absolutely nothing about designing a website. It wasn't as easy as I thought it would be: where layouting for magazines and publications had Pagemaker and Photoshop— making it possible to drag and drop the page elements right on the screen— webpage design also required a thorough knowledge of HTML script, which, naturally, I know nothing about.

And so, if ever this page looks remotely tidy and functional, it was only because of the helpful hints and thoughtful suggestions of Doranne Lim, graphic design and photography wunderkind of the law school.

Thanks for all the help, Berk! I owe you one.
