I'm jumping in with both feet and hoping to find a good experience here. I found my way here from another site and figured I'd see what my friends were up to here. I'm having a little trouble navigating and getting used to the format but I see a lot of familiar faces here so I'm optimistic that this is a good place to be.
It's not easy getting used to a new place and I normally hate change but I'm willing to give this a try.
Pardon my blunders as I plug along trying to get the lay of the lot....

Welcome to MyLot! You'll probably find your feet quite quickly, especially if you read the Rules (called Community Guidelines here) and the Earnings Program FAQs, both of which you'll find under "Help" at the top left next to your username and avatar.
Can I assume that the other site was Bubblews? If so, then there are no restrictions here on the number of discussions you may start nor on the length (or brevity) of your discussions, responses and comments.
The answers to many other commonly asked questions (as well as a link to the tutorial I have written) can be found in this discussion, which you may find useful:
I've been a member here since October 2006 and I and several others have tried to help newcomers to understand the site and to get the best out of it. I've...

@Marilynda1225 It's great to see you here. It's quite like Bubblews, in a way, but your 'posts' need to be more of 'discussion topics' to be really successful because it's all about 'interaction' here. It also tends to be both more informal and expansive here because there are no limits on what you can type as a comment or response. What matters here is that you 'maintain' your discussions by replying to those who respond and if you can get several good 'conversations' going, all the better.

Yes I've just joined the site and I'm find my way around but I quite like change. With me I think it's my staying power isn't that good and after a while I will get bored and move on. I'm enthusiastic at the moment though.

I have also just joined and I'm still finding my way around. There's a lot to get used to but I'm more familiar than I was yesterday so I guess we'll get there in the end.

Welcome to MyLot. I am sure you will enjoy your time here. I have been a member for a long time here but had left a while back. I am back now though and seeing many familiar faces coming back so I am very happy about that. Any questions that you cant find the answer to I am sure you can ask, everyone is so nice and helpful here =)

Very interesting, @Marilynda1225 . This is the first "discussion" I landed on that you started... You appear to be off to a rocky start... I do hope you are getting better at this, ma'am.

I know how you feel as I have just returned to the Lot after a five year absence. I feel like a newbie because the layout has changed so much but I am finding that other MyLottians are happy to help and point you in the right direction. Hoping you will have an enjoyable experience here. It sounds like you have many friends here from other sites, which will help.
