  <ol>
  <li>How do I make this conversion?</li>
  <li>The next step is to set today's date as a string or char and concatenate it with the filepath.  Will this change how I do step 1?</li>
  <li>I am terrible at data types and conversions, is there a good explanation for 5 year olds out there? </li>
