Add Katrina as a keyword. Welcome to FreeRepublic.com !
Click "forum" and then post your message. If the mods like it, they will move it to the Katrina section soon enough.
See where it says 'Post Reply' ?
Git yerself onto a thread that interests you, pick one of the posts at random for starters, click that 'Post Reply' thing and start typin'.
That'll get ya in the door and most everyone will steer you in the right direction w/varying degrees of flame.
Welcome aboard.
Allen, sometimes from the main forum page there is no post button, I've noticed this too. Click on the most likely topic, if you are posting a news story, with a link, pick the most appropriate forum, say: News/Activism. If it is from a blog, select Blogs and Personal.
Thanks to everyone that helped out, when I first got here, I was fraom being a "newb" but it still took me a l-o-n-g time to figure out all the little nuances of away things are done around here, getting advice is pretty touch because of the wise-ass comments that flow in and the moderators don't answer question.
One thing I reccomend is looking at the "General Interests" of a forum, to see if your post isd appropriate there.
Free REpublic is awesome but it's functionality can be a little difficult to figure out.
If you have any other question feel free to freepmail me.
You have to use ALT-F4 to post into the Katrina thread catagory.
