First recommendation for new folk... Read. That's it just read the room. Yes RTFM and all. But more importantly read people that have been here a while. Some of us are creatives, that promote work, but do it through conversation not just self aggrandizement. Sit down and have a discussion about a subject. Don't just "banner ad" your work, but tell me why you love doing it. Yes this takes time and energy. There is NO SEO to game here.
We Be The Humans.
@corlin That's something us new folks will have to adjust to, but it's such a good feeling to be making that adjustment!
