Hey welcome and glad you made it. This sites got more then what we are used to on NAMI but don't panic. Take it one step at a time and you will be ok. -

Clicking on inbox will give you a page that lets you read any private messages (not readable on the boards) you recieve from people here. You can also send someone else a private message. to do that you click on reply at the bottom after reading what they sent you. or you can click on the persons name on the boards and then at the bottom of that page click on send this user a private message.

There is a calendar here that keeps track of what the day is and whos birthday it is that day.

photos is the members picture galleries (personal pictures that they want to share with others here).

Chat = chat rooms where you can talk to others that are on line. I was thouroughly confused by it. But I am sure there are others here that can help you with that.

FAQ= Frequesntly Asked Questions - basically the rules of this place.

Main index brings you back to the page that lists all the discussion message boards.

Blog look confusing but it isnt. To read them Click on "blog" then along the side of that page you will see the words - get your own. That will take you into the members area. At the top of the page is the word - users. This is a list of all the members that have blogs here. Clicking on the name or title of the blog will get you into reading what that person wrote.

You can also read the blogs by entry - along the side of the first page (same page you find the word users on - you will find a list of most popular blogs, most commented blogs and most viewed. clicking on any of those or the ones in the middle of the page where the recently posted entrys are will get you into the persons blog.

Feel free to post anything, and ask anything. The moderators are great here. Almost as fast as you ask one a question during the day either by private message or on the boards you get an answer.

and my favorite get a load of the smilies. they are so cool.
