Welcome to MRH!  Here is a link that will help a bit.

How to Blog

On the How to Blog page, you will find instructions for adding photos to a blog and a breakdown of what the buttons on the post editors window do.  Since you are new you should only see a basic editor toolbar.  Once you are familiar with how everything works, if you feel you need more options you can request to have an advanced toolbar.

Posting to the discussion forums is pretty well the same as posting to your Blog.  The real difference is that your Blog is yours to do with what you want.  You can Blog your layout progress, Blog about operating sessions held on your layout or you can Blog about nearly anything you want that is appropriate for family viewing.

If you have questions you can ask them here, in the "How to Blog", Blog or find an appropriate discussion forum and post them there.

Hope you enjoy the magazine.  You can check it out clicking Current Issue on the page header.

Feel free to ask questions.  There are no dumb questions!  Lots of guys will chime in to try to help you out.

Once again, welcome to MRH!
