I don’t mean to sound stupid, but even after years of FREEPing, I usually just comment and reply to comments. How exactly do I participate in the weekly gardening thread. I am interested in that and I seriously don’t know how to do so.
Here’s this week’s. https://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/4063183/posts
They’re posted every Saturday morning and ‘Diana in Wisconsin’ who runs the weekly thread can add you to a list so you get a ping for every new Saturday thread. Just reply to Post #1 and ask to be added to the ping list. Pings are like this reply and you get the “New Posts To You” at the top of the page. Other than that, it’s just a matter of commenting/replying which you obviously know hot to do.
