I don't know how much reading/research you've already done, but if you want to get the most out of BYC, I suggest you do the following:
- Spend some time in the Learning Center
- When you have specific questions, most of the time a quick search will come up with the answers.
- If you don't find anything useful that way, post your question in an appropriate sub-forum. People here are very helpful and will answer your question even it has been asked 100 times before.
Enjoy your time here.
