There’s something rather odd about writing the first post on a blog.  Virtually nobody will ever read this, since at this point the site is brand new and nobody knows it’s here.  Hopefully over time this will grow to be a valued and popular resource for tarantula enthusiasts, but even if it grows to be a large and popular site, how many people are likely to search back through the archives and read this first post?  Not many!

Anyway, I hove you write a first post so here it is… If you did somehow find yourself reading this page then thanks for dropping by, and I hope that by the time you read this the site has grown from this little spiderling into a real goliath, and that there’s lots of much more interesting and useful content here for you
