Brand New, figuring out how to post

Testing, Testing, 1,2, uh 1 2 3 4. Ahem. Link

, ok, seems good, what else should I figure out how to do before joining in the madness?

(I like this preview thingy).

Welcome to the Dope, what version of Traveling Riverside Bluesman are you?
Robert Johnson, Clapton, Led Zeppelin, or someone else? :wink:

Jim

All three, actually. That’s part of the reason I picked it, but I’d have to go with Zeppelin.

Great answer, Zeppelin is my favorite version. :smiley:

Enjoy

Welcome.

You might also want to know that you only have 5 minutes to edit anything you post before it’s permanent.

Have fun and enjoy!

Welcome, 'Bluesman.
You should look over the million and a half stickies in this forum.
They have information, interesting facts and rules. However the rules boil down to don’t be a jerk.
Being a Bluesman, I’m sure that won’t be a problem. :smiley:

Can guests edit? I will have to go look this up.

(I read the stickies, but I wanted to make sure my computer would even allow me to post. It is a bit old and very wonky)

Nope, I can’t edit. at least not until I sign up for good. Now, should I wait to sign up and enjoy my free month, or should I sign up now to get all those cool benefits?

Hmm…

I say sign up now.

Well now I’m worried! I won’t have access to payment until at least tomorrow! Should I sign up for one of these credit card offers I got in my junk mail? Help!

Well, I guess it can wait, then. :smiley:

But now I want my BENEFITS. Damn.

What did it say on the old bluesman’s grave?

Didn’t wake up this mornin’.

Welcome, indeed!

In the category of “what else” to figure out, note the three threads on the entry page to this forum that are titled “FAQ” and take a quick read-through. In the category of “joining this madness,” take a quick re-read of Alice’s conversation with the Cheshire Cat (“You can’t help going among mad people, we’re all mad here.”)

Welcome, friend. :smiley:
Now, rather than start a new thread, can someone tell me how to do that [put a strike through the word] thingy?

Never mind… found an old thread.

[del]like this?[/del]

use square brackets and do this

{del}like this?{/del}

For the first few weeks, at least, dancing a jig while holding onto your ankles is a pretty useful skill. :wink:

You should figure out how to send quality chocolates and large amounts of money in small, unmarked bills to the mods and admins so they don’t hit you with the ban stick. Also, learn how to send good beer to the Charter Members, so they’ll be nice to you. :wink:

Welcome, Bluesman.

  1. Cool name? check.
  2. Likes Zep? check.
  3. Knows about punctuation and the shift key? check

Welcome. Welcome, to another year at Hogwarts! (oh, sorry wrong thread).

Welcome to the boards. Pony up your entry fee. The [del]ceremonial goats for the initiation ritual[/del] cake and ice cream for the welcome party are all ready in MPSIMS.
(Are you getting nervous, yet? :D)
