I first did what was recommended on this series of posts, I added:

mmcdev=1
bootpart=1:2
mmcroot=/dev/mmcblk1p2 ro optargs=quiet 

and saved it as "uEnv.txt"

I then inserted the micro sd card into the micro sd slot and the BBB saw it as 
sda1. I created a directory named 'exteranal' under /media and I then mounted 
sda1 to media using the following:

sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /media/external -o 
uid=1001,gid=1001,utf8,dmask=027,fmask=137

I used uid and gid 1001 because that is the user I am on my BBB. I 
initially tried 1000 but then I could not add, copy or delete files to the 
'external' folder. I am pretty happy with this outcome, but will be moving 
(unmounting) my sda1 and putting it in my web server folder /var/www/ 
(mounting it there) so that I can created mysql/php websites. Thank you all 
for being of great help. I learned a lot.
