I am sure you will find this a great community to belong to. I joined just recently and everyone has been more then helpful plus there is such a positive vibe here, who could ask for more. I had a lot of the same issues getting started, one thing I did that made it easier for me was when I read the link that Rifleman posted, I took pictures of it with my iPhone so I could reference it while I was trying to use it. Was very helpful technique when trying to figure out how to post pictures.
Anyway I am sure you figure it out, your a smart gal, you must be. You ended up here
