i have to suppose i had difficulty when i first came here, too (memory impairments),, because it IS such a large and complicated site, with so many offerings. i am so much at home now, that it's difficult to remember what to tell newcomers. most of the rules are to keep people safe, i like that.

i posted a small tutorial earlier, in the New Members Forum, called FAQ for New Members (i think) that might help you. scroll down or use Search to find it. if you don't find it, click on my name and leave me a note, i'll send you the link.

best wishes~
