  1. I am in the beginning stages of setting up this blog. Therefore, what is posted so far in blog posts is temporary. I will most certainly adds to most of the posts.

    In other words, no worries. I will add a great deal more information in time about each blog post, but in this case, on Queen Elizabeth I. It might take a while, but I will.

    Thanks for your patience as I embark on this journey of this blog.
