"Newbie" blogger

There's a saying: "Fools rush in where angels fear to tread". Being a computer fool attempting to create a blog, and not having a clue how to do it, I hope this feeble attempt works. If it does, I'd like to devote this blog to the wonderful world of shipwreck scuba diving, specifically places in the world where the recovery of marine artifacts is legal and permissible. As co-founder of the California Wreck Divers (www.cawreckdivers.org), we are devoted to the "recovery, restoration, and display of marine artifacts".
To the preservationists and marine archaeologist this is a very hot button issue. So let's open up this blog to the pros and cons of shipwreck artifact recovery.
Your turn...
