Hi Julie -- You have your profile up and running, i would encourage you to just wander around the site click on any thing that interests you and leave a comment if you would like.  Do this for a couple of days until you get the feel for it and you will be off and running.  Welcome to the Rain.  Aloha

Hi Julie and welcome to AR!! There is sooo much good and useful information here. At times you may feel overwhelmed. You are not alone. Just know.....NO question is too stupid!!! Everyone here is more than willing to help and share ideas. You will meet some great and knowledgeable people!!! Spend a few days reading. Make a few comments! Then start writing!! Write about community events like parades or carnivals that may be going on in the area. Make sure you post them to localism!! This is where the public will see you. This can be very addicting to a lot of people!! We are so addicted! Good luck and have fun playing in the RAIN!!

Hi Julie-

Welcome to ActiveRain and the Newbie Group-

The best advice I can give to any new Member is to read - a lot - and just start writing.

You need to write what you feel - don't just try to write what you think people want to hear.  Be you and you'll be fine.

Good Luck!

Welcome Julie, in the left hand column of the Newbies home page, if you scroll down there is a link that says starter page guide. Check this out, there is a lot of good information there.  Other than that, just read, ask for help if you need it, and have fun.
