I was away for 2 months and just chimed back in. I just look at the topic headings at the top under Recent Topics, and if they look interesting, I click on. I try to look at all the pictures people post and make a quick comment, as well as welcome a newbie-takes only a few seconds. However, I usually make anywhere between 10-30 posts at a session on line and get some really good information-I've asked questions and gotten quick replies and good advice. So many of us really love being here, and some spend more time than others. I also don't go on everyday, but try to a few evenings a week (or mornings) anyway. Give it a go and see how you like it!
