To start a forum topic, click on Create Content in the left hand sidebar then Just write your topic. New topics will appear on the right hand side bar which you will see if you scroll down a bit. Others can comment to them or start their own topics. The most important thing for folks to do is be sure to use tags that make it easy for us all to do a search and find it later. In fact if you all keep track of your tags, we can start a cloud or list of all the tags we used here in the musicbridges community.
I will start a delicious account for all of us today so tags can be added there as well for each forum topic, blog post, link or comment you make. More on tags later. For now, keep it simple and post a forum topic, blog post or just comment. Let us guide you through the use of these types of community sites and by the end of the six weeks you should be a virtual expert at using Drupal, Ning and MOodle! Well at least a comfortable user. Talk to you all soon and thank you for joining. Oh yes, I will start putting in tutorials for everyone a little at a time to help you get around.~Lee Baber
