						<h4>About the site...</h4>
						<p>Something About Animals is a site for you to learn about animals,
						the environment, and how people affect it. So there may be a lot of
						variety in content. I hope you can learn a thing or two. My goal:
						to help inspire people and to provide a place for someone to find
						some quick facts as well as a place for someone to gain a greater
						understanding along the way. But I am no animal expert, and so I plan
						to learn along the way as I research.</p>
						<p>And now for some background. I created this site after watching
						<i><a href="http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/planet-earth/">Planet Earth</a></i>,
						which my older brother got me for Christmas two years ago. After quickly
						creating this site, I realized that I did not have a clear idea of what I
						wanted the site to be about. And so, if you have seen this site before, it
						has been stagnant, because I let it go for several months. However, I got
						the motivation to redesign and refocus the site, which I did, so that (1) I
						would be able to write about things I was interested in and knew at least
						something about and (2) there would be some things I could update
						periodically without feeling overwhelmed. And so I did.</p>
						
						<h4>About me...</h4>
						<p>Since 2<span class="superscript">nd</span> grade, after seeing a movie in
						school about the destruction of the environment, I have been reading about
						animals and the environment. In 3<span class="superscript">rd</span> grade,
						I wrote a letter to President George Bush asking him push for an end to the
						destruction of the rainforest, and I got it signed by my class as well as
						well as some of the teachers (yes, I am very proud of it). Unfortunately,
						I didn't get a response (although when I wrote again in
						6<span class="superscript">th</span> grade, I did). So I am not animal
						expert but an animal enthusiast. And since I am no expert, I will include
						sources for all the information I provide, so you can both verfiy what I
						say as well as learn more yourself.</p>
						<p>Other than animals, my other interests include reading, writing, computer
						programming, 3D animation, and website design and development. At all these
						things, I am but an amateur, and I am learning everyday (with still much
						more learning ahead). I suppose that is enough about me. I will spare you
						my life story.</p>
