IM NEW ALSO, MY ADVICE IS TO THUMB THROUGH THE PROFILES, DELETE THEM AS YOU SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO KEEP TRACK OF WHO'S WHO. I AM HAVING GREAT LUCK SO FAR. GOOD LUCK TO YOU
The best way to get traffic to your profile is to join in the forums. Most people (myself included) go into profiles after reading threads just to get a feel of the author.
I hope you enjoy your time here, there are loads of great people who will make you welcome and offer advise if you announce that you are a newbie.
