Please don’t be afraid to post---I’ve left the option open for you to be able to correct or delete anything you’ve posted on this forum. The Edit buttons are self-explanatory. Use them at will. I’ve also added a
Test Forum so you can practice posting and editing. Use it---that’s what it’s there for…
Now: To comment or reply to another person’s story or poem: after reading their post, just click the
Reply button, and follow the posting procedures above, the only exception being, you won’t have to fill in the
Subject field. It will be filled in for you.
I hope this quick reference has been helpful to all that have never posted on a forum before… …Go ahead and post---you can’t break it…
