Well done and welcome to CoSo James! Glad to have you! The main thing to keep in mind with the interface is that the columns are modular and can be shifted left or right. Also specialized can be added from specific Hashtags ( I have extra columns for #CoSoMusic and #CosoBreaking news).
You can add column by doing a hashtag search in the search field underneath the CS Logo on the upper left. And "pin" the columns accessing the sliders in the top right corners of the columns.
