hitchingpost's blog: "Tutorials in using fubar proficiently when new to site"

The pseudo- gifts require a person to have "fuBucks". The best way to get about 50,000 of them is to click on "Gifts New" & then "Gift Shop" & then "FuMall" -- to get more fast, & then to spend about 30 minutes signing up for "free deals" in a long list. The free ones are at the beginning of their list. However, be careful, because when you go into one of these you should check the "requirements" at the bottom of the page before really getting involved to see if it requires Gold offers, Silver offers, or Sponsor offers. If so, then immediately exit & try another -- unless want to consider a purchase. HOWEVER -- if you are not in USA, you couldn't get delivery of most purchases, so such explorations would be useless except to see what IS OFFERED in USA.

HOW TO FIND & REVIEW MY BLOG ENTRIES. You must be on THEIR ( OR MINE) PROFILE page, not YOURS, in order to do this. You won't be able to check NSFW items until you have reached a certain fubar level & are a friend -- and some other requirements?? ? ?. 1. 1/2 way down in the center is an indication "Blogs(nn)", where nn = a number indicating how many total blog entries they from among all categories. 2. Click on that & it gives you a list of blog categories. 3. These are arranged in the order from most recently changed or entered to earliest entered. 4. Click on the first blog category & it gives you a list of blog entries. 5. Click on the first blog entry name. 6. View it & make comments. There is supposed to be a way to also rate it, but I don't know how & that is not a requirement. This should get you started understanding how to find yourself around blog stuff.

HOW TO FINISH FILLING OUT YOUR PROFILE VARIOUS SECTONS: 1. Go to "home" page. 2. To upper right by picture is word "edit" -- click on it. 3. Several things are indicated possible to edit: A. core interests -- what you like -- controls what stuff is sent etc. B. privacy settings -- controls who has access to various of you & in what ways C. music -- you can give "playlists", photos, or just text info as I do, as to what kinds of music I like. D. interests -- ditto as "C" E. about me -- ditto as "C" Another thing which gets put in your profile is "trackz", not done here but via "ripping" a song from someone else? 4. Click on "view as seen by everyone else" to check that you put in your changes as expected.

ABOUT "MY BAR TAB" ALERTS: THESE CAN GET TOO NUMEROUS & MIXED UP TO DEAL WITH IN THE NORMAL MODE OF DISPLAY. Everything is normally displayed mixed up & in order received. To view in 3 separate sections -- in 3 columns : 1. for me -- things requiring attention/action on my part 2. things friends are doing 3. other stuff .e.g. newbies coming in if you want to check them out This item #1 is mostly all that I am interested in. You click on "see all" in order to see the bar tab in this fashion. These lists are ordered from MOST RECENT ENTRY, to earlier. I just look at those which occurred from last time I was signed on. In case of "For me" you can also check for more specific categories, but I don't do that.
