    The amount of new faces here are making me :woot and then remember how lost I was when I first came to the Lily PAD. I wanted to do every challenge and play. I went to the store and bought a few things, then kicked myself, because they went on sale the next day. lol :giggle
    This POST today is put together for everyone, and it is a synopsis of the Lily Pad, and perhaps may help people that have been here a while tooo.

    Anyways, the welcome wagon is here, and just want you to love the Pad as much as I do too.

    Great job hitting the basics, Anne! I hope everyone feels right at home quickly, the way I did when I finally dove in :)

    The post says "There is also a calendar that is posted the beginning of each month that has some great information on it too". Is the calendar posted in an easy to find spot? I know before the upgrade I had to search for it a lot, and it wasn't always labeled calendar :huh

    Thanks for the refresher post! :yourock

    @Cath_ I love that we can tag people! We don't have to quote them. The like button is pretty cool. And the following. Although I'm not positive what that does yet :giggle What have you found that's new?

    @bestcee @Cath_ I also love the alerts! And the status updates are fun! I also love the bigger thumbnails in the gallery! Actually so much to love but I think those are my favorites so far. :beat

    @DixieDoesPSP This is how to tag. Type the at, and start typing a name and it will offer suggestions.

    @DixieDoesPSP Just type the @ symbol and then start typing the user name. You'll get a small box that pops up with the user name and avatar thumbnail and then you just click on it. When you press enter, the name will be highlighted and they'll get an alert.
