Intro RE: raised bed construction

Good Morning Everyone!
I am new here, just found the info to post here yesterday:)
You guys look like a great bunch:)
My name is Selena, I live in Northern California and I just picked up
Square Foot gardening in my local bookstore about two weeks ago:)
My hopes for this year's gardening is to become more self sufficient with
the food I grow and to maybe sell it at the Farmer's Market (any
suggestions?)  I have picked a few books up at the library and I'm rearing
to go:)  By the way, I am 21 and this is my second year of gardening:)
I am all enthusiasm and not much knowledge yet, I need all the help
I can get!

Oh, and here is my question:  pertaining to the raised bed constuction.
could someone send me the plans/ideas for the bed talked about in the
following post?  I joined a little too late to see it:)

Thank you so very much!
Selena (*)
