Welcome to WdC, Jessi-chan!

Just so you know, when you click Newsfeed on the left, it takes you to your Personal Newsfeed, which is the default. You will only see posts from people whose Plus sign you've clicked and probably official WdC posts. But click "View the Community Newsfeed" button along the top-ish and you'll see lots of posts from lots of people.

Start interacting with them. Click Like. Comment. Start making friends and eventually some will click your Plus button. Of course, feel free to click theirs first if you feel a bond.

The more people who have fanned or favorited you (clicked your Plus button), the more people who will see your posts when they are just on their Personal Newsfeed, which is where most folks hang out. Let me know if you have any questions.

Again, welcome to WdC!

Schnujo's Doing NaNoWriMo?

Welcome to WdC, Jessi-chan!

Just an FYI, when you post in your notebook, it appears only on the Community Newsfeed (where everything everyone posts in their notebooks appears) and on the Personal Newsfeed of only those who have clicked your Plus sign. Clicking a person's Plus sign means you are favoriting them or becoming a fan. After you click a person's Plus sign, you will see everything they post on their Personal Newsfeed.

What does this mean? Well, since you are a newbie, it means hardly anyone will see what you post. When people click Newsfeed on the left, it takes them to their Personal Newsfeed. Most folks never go beyond that, so will never meet you. Thus it's important for YOU to go out and meet THEM.

Of course, this can be done lots of ways such as through contests, blogging challenges, etc. But one of the easiest, IMO, is to hop on the Community Newsfeed and start meeting folks.

When you are on your Personal Newsfeed, you will see "View the Community Newsfeed" along the top-ish part of your Personal Newsfeed. Click that and a whole new world will open up.

Scroll down and click Like (or Love or whatever) and start commenting on things you have something to say about. Over time, people will start to notice you and will often start wanting to follow you (click your Plus sign). Once they click your Plus sign, they'll see your posts, even if they are only on their Personal Newsfeed. Plus, on the Community Newsfeed you find out about tons of happenings around WdC. Win-win!

Anyway, again, welcome! And good luck with your book!
