Attempt 1 - Sourdough Starter

I am going to try and bake bread - but not just any bread, sourdough.  To those of you that have known me for a really long time, I tend to suck at anything that involves baking (collapsed brownies, undercooked bread, hockey puck cookies, granola tasting carrot cake). But, I have lots of free time these days and a kitchen.  If you have a recipe or thoughts please share or comment - I'd love to hear.

Since I have no clue what I'm doing - I'm using the instructions from these fellow bloggers to see how they turn out:

I'm taking this blogger's advice on starting multiple starters because, I too, do not want to wait around for a bunch of duds. (She also has some really yummy looking recipes)
