. Each of us is welcomed with open arms and an open mind and a portfolio to keep and showcase this unique vision of our world in words. 
Remember to select the option to have your 'static item' viewable by "Registered Members" or "Registered Authors." This setting will, in most cases, allow you to maintain the story, poem, or article as unpublished by a magazine, ezine or book publisher if you choose to submit for publication. I know you check publication guidelines with care, and most of them do consider a closed forum review or draft as maintaining the option of first rights publication, so that's a safe option for your work.
Consider your fellow writers as readers, reviewers, critique partners, editors as well as peers. With that in mind, if you present your story or poem or article in a professional manner, you're more likely to get a thoughtful read with some encouraging and provocative comments. Most of us draft offline and upload our work to create a static item to share with our fellows our world in words. Most of us also hope to receive some feedback as to how well we've presented our world - did our poem reach the heart or ignite the mind or ease the spirit; did our story entertain, delight, mesmerize, or coax a laugh. 
When uploading documents, as when drafting directly onsite to a new static item, read over your work. Consider your item as you would a submission to a magazine or editor or your professor. After you've run your spellchecker, read it through with your own eyes. 
You can hit the SAVE and EDIT box at the bottom of the static item screen and continue editing and drafting, as well as adding ML codes to create the visual effect you desire. 
The most common formatting that vanishes with my uploads is centering and indenting. ML codes to fix those items require but a few keystrokes, as follow: 
Center = { center } TYPE THE TITLE { /center } [with no space between the bracket and its contents]
Indent = { indent } Begin typing the paragraph. End the paragraph with a return key and you will create a space before the next paragraph.
Italics = { i } { /i } wrapped before and after the text you wish to italicize.
