So, since I'm new to this, I suppose I'll want to figure out how all this works.  For instance, I noticed as I posted my first entry that I had options to allow (or not allow) "backtracking".  It certainly would be easier to make such a decision if I had any clue what "backtracking" was.  Oh well.  Default settings are a blessing.  I'm sure Charlotte Mason would approve.

The other section that has interested me is the "friends" section.  It would seem that I should fill in there all the usernames of my friends, so that people who are reading this - who are presumably somewhat interested in me - can then follow those links to see what it is that I'm interested in.  And continue the never-ending path of link-clicking. 

I confess, the thought of that fills me with thoughts of things like recess playgrounds, and youth group activities.  Is adult life no different?  Is there still be a place for advertisement of one's popularity?  If I have no friends, wouldn't it be ok for nobody to know it?  And if I do have friends, do they want to be advertised?  Or would they be embarrassed to admit to the friendship?  So, if I did have friends that I wanted to list, presumably I should ask them if they want to be listed.  And then what if they don't?  Will they feel awkward, like they need to give a good reason, other than not wanting to be publicly linked with me? 

I think I will remain friend-less.
