Two quick suggestions before I dash off for the evening:
1- Hang out on the Community Newsfeed (as opposed to your Personal Newsfeed). The Community Newsfeed -left menu bar, click Community, then Community Newsfeed at the top- will show you everything that's being posted by members - okay, maybe not everything depending on how your content rating (see: "Content Rating System (CRS)"
2- When you find someone whose posts you like or find helpful, become a fan. Click twice on the outlined plus sign beside their name. Clicking once = a finger with a string tied around it, which makes them a Favorite. Click again = a megaphone: now you're a Fan. Fans get benefits you won't get by favoriting someone: they'll get a notice telling them you're a fan (instant name recognition), many will fan you back, and some are quite generous, giving fans Gift Points (GPs) and even Merit Badges from time to time.
Actually, a third suggestion is to review other writers' works. Look at WdC101 important and useful instruction and recommendations on reviewing - and a mint of other helpful stuff to help you get more comfortable here:
