I would break into the “test one two three” riff from Rent, but I’m not feeling particularly musical at the moment.

I just want to make sure that this works… I don’t want to look like one of the uneducated masses.

Don’t worry andygirl. Even the old timers screw things up alot. I’m not an old-timmer, but my best advice to you is to test out the vB code at the top of the page. People will get peeved if you don’t use it correctly. They screw that up too, so, don’t sweat it too much. By the way, if this is your first welcome, then, Welcome!
