It takes a little bit. Relax. Besides, Cindi can show you a lot of the details.

OK, if you're not trying to change the look and feel, or anything major, the main day to day activities are posting, checking your friend's page, making comments, and responding to comments. Everything else is just icing, and can normally be figured out by searching the FAQs (there's a link on your profile/user info page).

You've obviously figured out how to post, or you wouldn't be able to say you're lost. For formatting, it does help if you know a little HTML, but if you don't want to do that, click the "rich text" tab on the "Update Journal" page, and it'll have icons for inserting whatever you feel like.

Sadly, they don't have an equivalent for posting comments. For example, the italics on "does" above were done by typing does. In any case, ignoring details like that...

Your friends page shows the posts of people you find interesting, and want to follow. If they think it's a good idea, they'll "friend" you too, which will list you on their ( ... )

No problem. And she won't be too surprised - I have a rep for helping people, especially people that friends say are cool. :-)

And who knows? We might even meet someday! Sucks that we can't sneak you into the club...
