PS: If you visit my personal space and see your screen name appearing in some parts of my intro, do not be surprised or/and worried...
It's the result of a gimmick called tag which makes each visitor to my space see their own name...

Hi Loup

Thanks for your welcome! And your advice. Is there a conversation for newbies like myself. I don't know where to start chatting.

It was supposed to say "Your Welcoming Message etc..." not "You Welcoming Message etc...", sorry about that...

I suppose A53146 is not a bad place to start... You post something there and some people start talking to you usually...

If there are things in particular you're interested in, clubs and groups are many on Hootoo... So, if you give me a rough list of your interests, I can give you some links and all you have to do is go to these places and start posting away...

People who write for <./>ThePost</.> do like people commenting on what they write [yep, we are the local s...]... So, it's worth a try as well...

Same with the entries in the Edited Guide really... people always like feedback...

There could be some subjects of discussion you're interested by in <./>AskH2G2</.> too...

Some newbies [and not just newbies] sometimes use the <./>online</.> facility to post to other newbies [the list show who is new ]... or/and visit people's spaces and introduce themselves...

That's a start anyway... I will see if I can post a few more links later on...

Talk soon..
