yay-we're using the website!

Turn my back for a week and fountains erupt everywhere --brilliant! Thanks to Mike for all the hard work on the website, the petition, and the forums with which to share info AND, to all of you for getting things going! So, tell me, how does this work? Will subsequent posts to my blog appear "above" this one (i.e., latest entry at top) or, will the latest entry be at bottom of the entries? Also, for those of us unfamiliar with HTML code, can you explain the tags? thanks!
