I'm no longer a blog virgin...go figure. There's a sense of freedom that comes with posting your first blog. You wonder if anyone has read it..if they will find it interesting enough to comment on and if you chose a suitable topic to begin the journey. You read your own post a few times to be sure...or maybe that was just me being anal...lol. There are some pretty fun and heavy topics out there...so writing about my blogging experience might not be earth shattering to some....but to me...I have to say it's definitaley giving me a stage to almost witness my growth. I married at 19, had my first child at 22 and here I am at 35 with three children and almost no life experience other than that of my very sheltered environment.....but, I guess my life story should be part of a future post. Stay tuned....

    Thanks! I've not had too much time to read all of the blogs but I'm surprised to see so much to be written in such little time....I turn my pc off, go run errands and by the next time I'm on there seems to be so much more on here. Thanks again

    Welcome to soulcast! I'm pretty new here myself and I was pretty nervous about how my posts would stack up. People eventually read and I've found everyone here is very nice. Just browse and comment on a few people and I'm sure the favor will be returned

    Welcome, MSO, hope you will have loads of fun here.  I have written a short piece on what I believe is a good way to get around the site.  If you are interested I will paste it here for you.  Let me know!

    Thanks all again, interesting welcome messages. My interest levels in blogging are increasing by the minute...lol. Polar, yes....please. Looking forward to more exchanged messages.

    Hello again, MSO!  Glad you are getting hooked LOL :J (you with a hook in yr mouth).  Here is my "two cents" as requested:
     
    First and foremost they way to make your presence known is to comment on the most popular posts i.e. the ones that are on the first few pages of the Home Page.  This is how people will be able to get to know you and how you will get people to come and read your posts and perhaps even subscribe to you.
     
    On the Home Page of SC there the following tabs at the top of the page:
     
    Home = The pages (usually around 10) of the most read posts and usually also oldest first and the most recent last.  These pages are refreshed every 24 hours i.e. once your post has been published for 24 hours it will no longer appear on the Home pages.
     
    My Users = All the most recent posts written by people to whom you have subscribed.  I.e. when you subscribe to someone because you like to read what they write this where you will go to "find" out the latest from them.
     
    My Interests = All posts that contain the similar "tags" that you have used for your own posts e.g. if one of your tags is "life" and you click here all the posts that have also been tagged life will also come up here.  I strongly feel that it is better to use single word tags rather than sentences, because it will help to use this My Interests tab. . .that chances are slim that others would have used the exact same wording as you in a sentence.
     
    My Conversations = All the posts to which you have previously left a comment and also your posts to which others have left comments.  This is a very nice way to keep track of conversations and makes it easy to reply to others.
     
    NOTE: Once you have commented on a post, in order to get back to the Home Page you need to click on the large SoulCast icon in the top left corner of the screen.
     
    I use My Conversations and My Users the most as it keeps me up to date with the users I am interested in reading.
