Def worth all the upvotes with this one. :)
long time no see & congrats on the milestones!

The patience aspect I think should not be underestimated. No one should feel discouraged by a lack of early results. Use your courage instead and anyone new should know you'll fit in here eventually! Plenty of creative faucets.. Try them all if you must I say! haha.

Or you could be me! Im kind of odd and mostly just taken back by the platform and so I enjoy just hanging around and reading up on current events, news, DIY info, & with the odd jibber jabber at the cool people I find through the adventure. Plenty of ways to live! choose one! Have a good one all and you too gogreenbuddy, keep writing cause we're reading. ~.^
