Thanks so much for the detailed reply. I'm here to join the community, so not really looking for the free upvotes/power. Would just like to have more of a following/more power since that's always a plus, and more money is an obvious plus!

Ah, is it okay to do an introduceyourself without posting a picture of myself? Would prefer not to have to do that :) though I've seen it's recommended.

Also that is really good advice on the tags ... always thought posting to the most popular ones would get the most views, but I see that it can easily get buried.

Notice there are a lot of canned responses on most articles ... seems like bots just post mindlessly :)

Will keep these in mind, thanks a lot for the reply ... appreciate it.
