the express framework version

some node and express tutorials I used:
http://shapeshed.com/creating-a-basic-site-with-node-and-express/
http://cwbuecheler.com/web/tutorials/2013/node-express-mongo/
http://howtonode.org/getting-started-with-express

there isn't one that worked best for me. I just kind of spent a lot of
time going around to different websites and piecing my understanding of
it all together.

there aren't any comments on the code right now but I plan on it once I
get a chance. I thought it would be good just to get it up so everyone
can look at it.

please let me know if you have any questions. I'm going to continue
working with this and improving my knowledge of it.
