Thanks for the advice! I'm still learning the ropes, so I always appreciate when folks explain things simply. While I have not ever asked others to follow me, I have received many of those requests, and honestly, I've just ignored them. In the rare occasion that I've told someone that I am now following, I usually mention something that caught my eye in one of their posts to make me want to follow them.

Anyway, I found you because I am preparing to start an alt account for my kids, and I was reading up on how @Papa-pepper started up his @Little-peppers. I saw that you wrote some stories for them, so here I am checking you out and noticed this post. Now I'm off to go read some stories! Thanks for the info!
