Hey how come the newbies get their own lecture thread?

[billorites]

[tongue-tied]

Guilty of forgetting the "search first" feature...probably also of too many topics...and maybe also, oh balls!

I will relegate myself back to "Status: lurking" for a bit and try and absorb more.

[evets]

Thanks, that was refreshing

Not just for newbies.

[Graymatter]

I'm a newbie when it comes to images. View below and tell me please: A. I don't see it, you don't know what you're doing. B. I see it, I don't get it. C. Your first effort? Remarkable!

[ArneFufkin]

Not bad.

I give you a .37UB on the international UncleBill memorial linking meter.

One question...

HOW THE HECK DO I POST PHOTOS?

[PianoMan]

I'd like to add a comment for newbies.

If you are like me and not a hardcore Freeper, by which I mean you come here well less than an hour a day, anything that is breaking news WILL already be posted. Any article from a major newspaper WILL already be posted by someone who takes care of it on a daily basis. If you can't find it, that's because YOU can't find it.

Learn from me and avoid the embarassing that-wasn't breaking-news/already-posted pile on. :)

[WinOne4TheGipper]

This does not belong in breaking news. Make your time, newbie.;-)

[Sub-Driver]

you may want to add rules on altering news headlines....it is what it is...And while on the topic can we get a list of sites that are "persona non grata"?....Call it the "No Posting List"?

[BraveMan]

Can I subscribe to the Comment #XX Removed by Moderator posts?

I always arrive too late to see them . . .

[Libertina]

Not a newbie, but still learned something, thank you!

Excuse me...

What would you do Without Free Republic?

"What would you do Without FR?????

How would You Feel without FR??? Suppose one day you tried to log on and Free Republic wasn’t there? Where would you get your up to the minute news? How about the live threads as things are happening?

How would you know about the latest Demorat scams, anti-second amendment schemes and all the other liberal, anti-American ploys that are tried every single day?

Insight into world affairs, brilliant wit, sharp retorts, instant information gratification are a few of the things that make FR so vital.

How would you keep on top of things without FR?

How would you know who to contact to complain about the lying politicians, Media Bias, Hollyweirds latest mouth off, sponsors of these idiots, company policies that are unfair and all the other things we need to know to counteract the liberal mindset and the evil plans of liberals?

How would you be part of a Freep?

What would you do without FR????

Freedom isn’t free.

If you enjoy the site and find it a place of like minded Americans to sound off, to get together, to fight back, to have your voice heard and make a difference, PLEASE CONTRIBUTE NOW! Jim can’t do this alone.

The liberals are sure we won’t be able to keep FR up & running. Prove them wrong. Show them we are indeed united Freepers.
Whether it is $5.00, $50.00 or more, it all adds up. Please send a donation now to Free Republic."

You have mentioned a SEARCH to avoid duplicate threads, but you neglected to point out that the original title should remain unaltered.

Many duplicates I see are caused by someone substituting their own title or deliberately corrupting the spelling of words in the title; i.e. Hitlery. Please, Please, Please employ the original title. If you must add to it, then offset your addition with brackets.

This not only helps prevent duplicates, it also makes the archives searchable and potentially useful for research. Respelling people's names to be cute or disrespectful reduces the ability to search the archives and also makes us all sound like babies! </flame>

There is one case where one SHOULD augment the title. This occurs when the story is regional and the state (and sometimes the city) needs to be added in order to let us know where it is from. There are dozens of newspapers called "Chronicle" or "Register", lots of cities named Glendale, and most of us do not recognize TV or Radio call letters. Give us a little help.

You need a copy editor.
