Guidelines for Newbies...

Hello Everyone, I am new to the forums and I see there are blog copy posts, WIW posts etc. Is there a post that will give me some idea of what all these wonderful choices are about and where best to start?

Thank you!

Sue if you go into each Forum type you will see a welcome from Angie that explains why each Forum type was created. How you use the Forum really depends on what you want to get out of it.

Hi Kiwichik! Oh, that's very helpful thanks! I will start by reviewing the introduction posts by Angie for each forum type.

Welcome Sue! You can just figure it out as you go. If you start by reading, you'll get to *know* the different members and their styles so you can comment. And when you get up the nerve, you can post a picture of yourself. Many of us started by trying to figure out what body-type we were, but you can start anywhere, with What I Wore posts too.

And another welcome, Sue. The forum contains all kinds of posts, so I'd recommend just clicking and reading until you get a feel for the conversations and the members. Some of the posts are challenges that a forum member poses and which are then taken up by other members. Some posts are requests for feedback on specific items or outfits, while other posts are more general questions about fashion in general. There are usually a mix of new and old members but I'd say the most addictive thing about this forum is how genuinely nice and helpful the members are towards each other.

I checked out your website briefly and loved how you used color in your outfits.

I started by checking out Angie's blog posts on capsules - I was really struggling with my work wardrobe and it was a great place to start. My suggestion is to make yourself a cup of tea or coffee, sit down and start poking around the site - you'll discover lots that way. Participate as the inspiration strikes - it's a great place to be!

Yes. I was totally overwhelmed by the sheer volume of everything in the beginning. I remember emailing Angie and calling the forums a "force of nature." Things do move fast here. But you will get the hang of it soon. Looking forward to interacting with you on YLF and perhaps at some point seeing your outfits or hearing your thoughts!

Thank you for all the very helpful replies! I will get that cuppa and start familiarizing myself with the different categories. The forum does appear to be very active, and if the blog comments are any indication, it seems that there are a lot of active members. So, I will try and get to know you better by reading up on some posts and adding some of my own comments. Oh, I see I have the option to add a photo to my comments, and that it looks quite easy to do. That's a help for this techno-newbie too!

Thanks again, Sue
