At the top of this page there is a line that says "Wordsmith Talk>>Forums..." the next line is "Forum List My Stuff..."
Click on My Stuff then on Profile and there is room to put all sorts of stuff.
To see someone else's profile just click on their name.

(As a non-neophyte but also a non-techno if someone tells me to click on profile I expect to see an icon labeled "Profile" in, preferably, bold red letters.)

NEOPHYTE - I should look it up , but it sounds like the newest strangler snake mutation.

That is my problem in a nutshell. dystechnia? I don't understand computers so knowing how to do one thing has no connection to knowing the next thing. It is as if I can follow directions on baking peanut butter cookies but don't see how that connects to baking chocolate chip cookies. I set my profile but still haven't managed the avatar thing.
No idea if Luke needed my info or not.

I had help posting the avatar. I tried to post a geographic location, but am doing something wrong, because nothing happens. Sorry.

OK the first thing that came to mind was Ganymede, just trying
to type in something to see if it worked. I guess it took time
but it did work. Thank Zed.

I see your location as Ganymede, was that not what you intended?

Not particularly, but thanks for noticing. I was looking at
the stars last night and took a picture of Jupiter, remembering
a photo I took last year with four of its moons visible:
Ganymede, Io, Europa,and Callisto. I was trying for the last
week to get a "location" into that blue box, and not being
computer savvy, less that 2 years with one, I just typed it
in to get something to work, not having given much thought to
it. I'll change it now. Thanks again for noticing, I had to
have help from the good folks here to help me put it in.

Now I did look up neophyte. Never mind LukeJavan, I'm still a novafeet too. About in almost each and every field grin .
And it still goes that a good neighbour is better than a distant friend. Just make enough mistakes to get it right and anyway:

"And who are you the tall man said, that I must bow so low"...( misquote from a forgotten author)

Boy, is that ever true. So many friends are going to 'stay in touch" and now they
are Christmas card friends. I always thought neophyte meant just "beginner". That's
me on the computer. I still use my old IBM Selectric II for many things. I won't
even go into trying to address envelopes on a computer: forget it!
