So, if I pick: QC's Cave Days, ETC. ...a topic will be started, and i will always return to that same place when I have personal info to share, with anyone that chooses to read it?
Nope, your topic in that section would be called "quiltncrazy" -- since it's all about you.
An added benefit is that once the topic gets indexed by the search, it should come up at the top when someone searches for your nick name on the site.
And when someone opens up that section directly, they would see a list of people's names. So it would be easy for anyone to follow up on the people they care about.
If we put that nick, in the title, and add a little more to it, is that ok?
I guess that's OK too. But please make sure that your nick is prominently featured in the title.
